Aims & Scope
Alces invites original manuscripts describing studies of the biology and management of moose throughout their circumpolar distribution, as well as other ungulate or carnivore species that overlap their range. Alces publishes original manuscripts describing studies of the biology and management of moose (Alces alces) throughout their circumpolar distribution. Some articles originate as papers or posters presented at the annual North American Moose Conference and Workshop or the International Moose Symposium, but manuscripts may be submitted directly through the website to the Submissions Editor at any time. Each manuscript is assigned to an Associate/Section Editor, who then assigns it to at least two reviewers knowledgeable about the research subject. Reviewers evaluate submitted manuscripts on data originality, ideas, analyses, interpretation, accuracy, conciseness, clarity, appropriate subject matter, and on their contribution to existing knowledge. Alces publishes manuscripts crafted on a wide variety of subjects, including natural history (e.g., food habits, habitat use and selection), morphology, taxonomy, physiology, parasitology, population dynamics, modelling, evaluations of statistical techniques, research methods, ecosystem dynamics, management, law enforcement, education, economics, administration, philosophy, and other topics. Short communications or research notes are also acceptable.
