Abstract
An ecological-physiological study of the Shiras moose population in the Jackson Hole area was initiated in August of 1963. Moose population dynamics will be one phase of the study, and will involve calculations of population productivity, sex and age structure of the population, and factors regulating population numbers and success. Measurements of physiological condition of the population as related to forage conditions, sex and age, and behavior will be attempted. Other phases of the study involve moose-habitat relationships and spatial distribution and mobility of the population. Project Number 125.
