Pennsylvania Project
Parturition timing and calf survival in Pennsylvania elk
July 2020 - June 2023
Personnel
Participating Agencies
- Pennsylvania Game Commission
Novel methods are available to understand the ecology of large mammals in various regions of the US. From the use of global positioning technology (GPS) for movements to vaginal implant transmitters (VITs) to document parturition, information on various life stages of elk can be determined. This project focuses on using improvements in technology or novel methods to assess elk diet, reproduction, genetics, and survival.
