Density-dependent—food source. If there is only enough food to feed moose, a population of moose will lead to intraspecies competition, with some moose dying out. Density-independent—regardless of the size of the moose population, climate change has . For a wide range of moose abundance (i.e., moose per km2), moose growth rate tends to increase with moose density (red dashed line). For this range of abundances, the population is unstable. But we get a different sense is if we also consider the highest density of moose ever observed on Isle Royale ( moose/km2 in ) and the subsequent.

New information is also needed to assess current issues pertaining to human use of the population in the Project region. For management purposes, moose in Game Management Unit (GMU) 13 are monitored annually using aerial trend-count surveys.   Progress 10/01/96 to 09/30/97 Outputs In its 39th year, this research seeks an understanding of population in an isolated predator-prey system consisting of wolves and moose. The aftershocks of a moose dieoff during the winter of continued well into May, when delayed arival of spring caused an extended period of starvation for moose.

Annual population growth rate is equal to the _____ rate minus the _____ rate for the population (use a space and a comma between your answers, eg: a, b). nutrients Runoff from farm fields finds its way to the Gulf of Mexico where it causes a boom in the plankton population.
