4) Poor habitat (lack of deciduous forests), skinny calves going into winter, and HIGH snow-depth facilitated greater tick loads, higher stress, and poor nutritional condition for moose calves in this study in Vermont. https://t.co/L3KpQmAa8H

New work out that I was lucky enough to be a part of! Complex interactions between moose calf stress, nutrition, and survival dependent on seasonality, environment, and parasite load. #Moose #Ecology #Conservation #Nutrition #DiseaseEcology #Stress https:/
