Life-history consequences of maternal condition in Alaskan moose
Mark A. Keech,R. Terry Bowyer,Jay M. Ver Hoef,Rodney D. Boertje,Bruce W. Dale,Thomas R. Stephenson +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicated maternal condition influenced subsequent variables associated wit11 birth, which ultimately affected f i~ t~ t r e sunival of offspring, and timing of reproduction varied over the 2 years, with births occurring earlier but not more synchronously i11 1996 than in 1997.

Managing for Elevated Yield of Moose in Interior Alaska
TL;DR: Elevated yield and density of moose was described in GMU 20A because moose were reproducing at the lowest rate measured among wild, noninsular North American populations and higher bear predation rates can create challenges for those desiring rapid increases in sustained yield.

Habitat use by black bears in relation to conspecifics and competitors
TL;DR: Results from this study suggest that GPS-collared black bears use similar habitat as conspecifics more than expected during the peak period of black bear predation on moose calves, whereas they use habitat in proportion to home range availability during thepeak in brownBear predation.

Spatio-temporal patterns of predation among three sympatric predators in a single-prey system
Danielle Garneau,Danielle Garneau,Danielle Garneau,Eric Post,Toby Boudreau,Mark A. Keech,Patrick Valkenburg +6 more
TL;DR: This study appears to support key predictions of predator coexistence on a shared resource: namely, that bears and wolves differentiate spatially or temporally in their use of a pulsed prey, presumably to minimize competition.
