www.umesc.usgs.gov — The moose population in northwestern Minnesota has been declining for over 25 years. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has identified a need to determine whether the moose decline is a result of nutrition, parasites, disease, contaminants, or a combination of those factors. In an attempt to determine the cause of death for moose in northwestern More...
