Abstract

Wildlife managers consider moose (Alces alces) population size an important contributing factor to the number of moose-vehicle collisions (MVCs), but the value of MVCs as an index to moose numbers is not clear. I review past applications of wildlife-vehicle collisions as a population index and identify the potential for using MVCs to indicate changes in moose population densities.
