This title begs a comedic question, “How do you take the temperature of a moose?” The answer is, of course, “Very carefully!” But to Jeff Martin, PhD, and Dan Thompson, PhD, how large game responds to rising temperatures provides key insights into the future sustainability of moose and bison populations on landscapes where increased warming is a concern.
Source: Drovers, September 4, 2020. Link. Martin and Thompson’s research provides evidence which suggests that while adaptive to change, without recognition of changing conditions, future production of bison and moose in areas with increasing climate variability may not be sustainable.
