@article{Bubenik_1981, title={MOOSE RESEARCH AND SOCIOBIOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT}, volume={17}, url={https://www.alcesjournal.org/index.php/alces/article/view/1595}, abstractNote={<p>In view of the urgent need to modernize moose management on sociobiological principles (i.e. towards social welfare), I outline a series of top-priority research projects. Research findings will provide moose managers with reliable indicators of population welfare and socio biological trends. To guarantee validity of these indicators, 3 main objectives should be the basis of any new moose research: (1) the standardization of ecological, morphological, physiological and behavioural methods, (2) control of field data through simulated conditions with confined moose, and (3) a detailed inventory of moose umwelt-parameters. The essential questions concern: maturation processes, sexual behavioru, reproductive capacity of each sex, extrinsic control of popular behaviour, growth, individual fashion fitness, circadian periodicity, neurohormonal mechanisms, immunobiological defences, antlerogenesis and taxonomy.</p>}, journal={Alces: A Journal Devoted to the Biology and Management of Moose}, author={Bubenik, A.
