Join Maine’s moose biologist Lee Kantar to learn about the status of Maine’s moose population, the adaptive management study, how winter tick are threatening moose, and the next steps.
Compilation of recent research on moose health and mortality, published from 2015-2020.
Findings suggested that moose generally tolerated moderate parasitism by keds. However, the increase in hair cortisol concentrations at higher ked intensities suggested that the tolerance strategy could be disrupted with further increases in intensities and consequently may negatively affect animal health and welfare.
