| dc.description.abstract | ontario elk restoration program involved 443 elk (cervus canadensis) from elk island national park, alberta, re-introduced into four areas of ontario during 1998-2001. in northwestern ontario, the lake of the woods (low) region received a total of 104 elk in 2000 and 2001. currently, the region supports a small, free-ranging elk population with a relatively slow rate of increase; most often the elk occupy grassy clearcuts created by logging. in this study, population size and use of foraging patches and roads are described for the spring - summer period. seasonal home range and activity patterns are evaluated using motion activated cameras, radio-telemetry and direct observation. spring - summer diet composition is described from microhistological analysis of fecal pellets. | en_us |
