Fully agree. As to cause of moose decline on the very southern margins of their range that is also probably correct. Temperature largely defines the southern boundaries of range according to my moose "bible". Down there of course, they are also further stressed by ticks, and a couple other things that they aren't farther north, so cumulatively, it doesn't take much in any category of stress to push the boundary farther north.
