Describe the population dynamics of the Upper Peninsula Michigan moose herd as it pertains to the following:
– Immigration– Emigration– Birth rates– Mortality rates– Life expectancy– Survivorship Curve I, II, III
![Page 4: michigan/documents/dnr/Moose_white_paper_28_Feb_2011_Final_350494_7.pdf](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814c08550346895db90913/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Classify the dispersion pattern of the moose population (clumped, even, random, or a combination)
![Page 5: michigan/documents/dnr/Moose_white_paper_28_Feb_2011_Final_350494_7.pdf](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814c08550346895db90913/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is the current population size of the U.P. Michigan moose herd? Is this a guess, estimate, or actual count?
Explain.
![Page 6: michigan/documents/dnr/Moose_white_paper_28_Feb_2011_Final_350494_7.pdf](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814c08550346895db90913/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How did biologists find the moose population size?

List some variables that have an effect on the mortality rate of the moose population. Critique which can/can’t
be controlled.

What is the Isle Royale moose herd? Why is it not used in determining the U.P. moose population?

Describe and evaluate the success of Moose Lift I and Moose Lift II.

Critique the habitat needed for the moose herd to continue to grow across the U.P.

Describe and analyze the “winter population estimates”
graph on Pg. 26 of the survey. Interpret the graph.

Why do biologists use “winter” counts for the moose herd population?
