Regional differences in moose forage. Estimated marginal means (± SE) of the proportional contribution of major plant forage categories to moose diet in the eastern (red) and western (blue) regions of Isle Royale National Park. Significance labels represent pairwise regional contrasts derived from model-based estimates (z-statistics and associated p-values). Asterisks denote levels of statistical significance (*** p < 0.001; ns = not significant). Balsam fir and cedar exhibited strong regional divergence, with higher balsam fir consumption in the east and higher cedar consumption in the west. Deciduous browse and other minor forage categories (spruce, white pine, unknown) showed no detectable regional differences.
