Question
1. Moose Management Area 6, WMU 350 In 1993–94, aerial counts of moose populations in Wildlife Management Unit 350 showed a density of 0.45 moose/km2 in the 5788 km2 area surveyed. What was the total population size (N)? 2. Another population count of Moose Management Area 6, WMU 350 occurred in 1997–98.This time, the population size was estimated at 3204 moose. What was the population density (Dp)? 3.Compare the two population sizes from the two counts of WMU 350 and determine the following variables. Show your work. ΔN: Growth rate: Per capita growth rate:
A major moose population survey was completed in 1993-94 to determine moose numbers,
densities, and sex and age ratios. In Wildlife Management Area 6 (see diagram below), 46
Wildlife Management Units (WMUS) were surveyed by field biologists who counted the moose
from airplanes as they circled over the WMU. The counts were done in winter so that the dark
hide of the moose could be seen against the white snow.
From the entire survey area, the moose population for Area 6 was estimated at 81 000 animals.
This number was considered to be near what the habitat could support. However, moose
numbers in a few WMUS were significantly below that capacity, and the number of bulls in
relation to the number of cows (bull : cow ratio) was lower than desired. The optimum ratio that
will produce the most offspring is considered to be 40 bulls to every 100 cows.
