Status of moose populations and challenges to moose management in Fennoscandia. (2003, background): “In Norway, moose body mass has been decreasing since the 1970s, following increasing densities (Solberg et al. 1997, Hjeljord and Histøl 1999) and, as mentioned above, calves/female ratios have decreased in many populations during the last 30 years (e.g., Solberg et al. 1997, 2000).”
Biased adult sex ratio can affect fecundity in primiparous moose Alces alces (2002, background): “Peterson 1977), the proportion of prime-aged individuals in Norwegian moose populations is in general very low (this study, Solberg et al. 1997 ).”
Selective harvesting of large mammals: how often does it result in directional selection? (2011, background): “2004), a skewed sex ratio leading to low density of one sex (Nilsen & Solberg 2006), a high quota relative to population size (Solberg et al. 2000), a short duration of hunting season, or small estate size, selectivity will be reduced.”
Ageing and reproductive effort in male moose under variable levels of intrasexual competition (2005, background): “Hunters may be selective when quota is small relative to population size ( Solberg et al . 2000 ), and the very oldest age classes are somewhat more prone to being shot (because they are large or due possibly to factors such as reduced sight, vision or mobility; Ericsson & Wallin 2001).”
