1 Evaluating genetic connectivity and re-colonization dynamics of moose in the Northeast. Theme 4, Principal Investigator(s): Dr. Heidi Kretser and Dr. Michale Glennon, Wildlife Conservation Society 7 Brandy Brook Avenue, Saranac Lake, NY Collaborators and affiliations: Michael Schwartz and Kristy Pilgrim, U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station Genetics Laboratory Completion date: Genetic evaluation of moose tissues from the northeast states and provinces suggests the St. Lawrence Seaway presents a barrier to gene flow. This finding may indicate a true barrier to moose movement or a founding effect as most northeast states moose recolonized from a remnant population in northern Maine. Funding support for this project was provided by the Northeastern States Research Cooperative (NSRC), a partnership of Northern Forest states (New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and New York), in coordination with the USDA Forest Service.
2 Project Summary The goal of this project was to inform future management and conservation efforts for moose in the Northeast by establishing the genetic connectivity of moose in the northeastern states and provinces and understanding re-colonization dynamics of the Adirondack moose population. Despite moose s historic recovery in one of the most populous regions of the world, little is known about how moose use the northeastern landscape and how important connectivity might be for a population potentially founded by a few individuals with little genetic variation. We tested 293 tissue and hair tissues and 140 scat samples to look at genetic markers of moose from the Northeast to specify the relationship among regional sub-populations; we amplified DNA from 140 samples of moose scat collected using detection dogs in May 2008 to determine whether the method would be viable for calculating population estimates. We are now disseminating the results to inform future moose management and conservation efforts in the Northeast, especially in light of climate change. We found distinct genetic differences among moose from north of the St. Lawrence Seaway and south of the St. Lawrence seaway. We could also see distinctions in the Cape Breton and Nova Scotia mainland populations. Of the 140 scats from New York State, we amplified DNA from 38 samples and found 25 individuals. For NYS, scat sniffing dogs may be a viable method for assessing population if collection and DNA extraction can take place within one month. Overall, if landscape connectivity in the northeast is affecting genetic flow it could also hinder adaption to climate change. Future research should explore the northward movements of moose in the Northeast.
3 Background: History of Moose in the Northeast 1980 Whitehall, NY
4 How many moose? NY Current DEC estimate: moose VT: ~5,000 NH: ~7,000 ME: ~29,000 oose Locations se Locations se Locations e Locations ose Locations
5 AROMA Assessment of the Return of Moose to the Adirondacks 2 dogs, 2 handlers using voice control, 2 orienteers 10 field days in the northern Adirondcaks 20 transects, 3-5 km each Located 141 moose scat samples. More than we expected
6 METHODS The Wonders of DNA How many moose did we find? Are they related? Where did they come from? How closely related to moose in Vermont? New Hampshire? Maine? Canada? R.LeClair
