The impact of “Starting Date” on the model outputs of migration parameters.

Results are the averaged output for the 41 moose used in this study. The model outputs show estimates of distance (km2), timing (“From” is the start date of migration and “To” is the end date of migration) and duration (number of days) of the migrations. As per Fig 1, Migration 1 or 2 can be either a spring or autumn migration depending on the starting date of the data. For moose in northern Sweden, spring migrations occur in May and June and autumn migrations occur between November and January. For the quantification of start and end of migration, we used the formulas mentioned in Table 1.
