John Fieberg L. David Mech 2014 We re-evaluated findings from Lenarz et al. (2009) that adult moose (<i>Alces alces</i>) survival in northeastern Minnesota was related to high January temperatures and that predation by wolves (<i>Canis lupus</i>) played a minor role. We found significant inverse relationships between annual wolf numbers in part of the moose range and various moose demographics from 2003 to 2013 that suggested a stronger role of wolves than heretofore believed. To re-evaluate the temperature findings, we conducted a simulation study, mimicking the approach taken by Lenarz et al. (2009), to explore the potential for concluding a significant relationship exists between temperature and survival, when no association exists. We found that the high R²s and low probabilities associated with the regression models in Lenarz et al. (2009) should be viewed cautiously in light of the large number of fitted models (m = 45) and few observations (n = 6 for each of 5 response variables). application/pdf 10.1002/jwmg.775 en The Wildlife Society Re-evaluating the northeastern Minnesota moose decline and the role of wolves article
