document seasonal elk use areas and migration corridors, including timing of use and migration movemens, in the study area using radio telemetry techniques
produce a statistically derived estimate of productivity and recruitmnt for the study period
produce a statisticaly derived estimate of the population size with in each subunit in the study area
Define productivity
# born to the population
Define recruitment
# born that & join the population
Methods:
Relocate elk once per month, twice per month during migration,, using telemetry techniques from fixed win aircrafts
locate calbes of collared elk once in spring and once in fall to estimate production and survival
conduct annual helicopter surveys using mark/recapture techniques to estimate population
What was their null hypothosis (they found it to be wrong)
Elk stay in the same areas throughout the year
T/F Elk in this study moved from public land to private land during hunting season
TRUE
T/F results indicated high productibyt and recruitment rates
TRUE: 5/5
define sightability
number of radio-collared elk seen during surveys/number of radio collared elk in th esurvey area 36/47=76.6%
Population estimate=
number of elk seen on surveys/sightability
4,210/.766=5496 Elk
Statistically derived estimate of recruitment for one year showing _____% with a small sample size
