New York Project
Occupancy modeling of moose in northern New York State using hunter observations

- New York Department of Environmental Conservation
This project is using a hunter-response survey tool to fit spatially-referenced moose observations to a landscape occupancy model. The model will allow estimation of the distribution and spatiotemporal dynamics of moose in northern New York. We will use a hypothesis-based approach for inference on the role of land-use patterns, climate effects, and interspecific interactions as drivers of both patterns and changes in moose distribution and abundance.
