MOAB has been tested on both the Macintosh and Windows computer platforms. MOAB can import and export habitat type and food distribution files. Nest predation is most strongly affected by, and is inversely proportional to, alternative food density. Nest predation is inversely proportional to nest density. Patch size or patches laid out in long habitat strips do not significantly affect predation.
Predation is higher in predator preferred habitat.
Predation rate is affected by habitat configuration. When habitat is laid out in such a way as to block animal movement, predation rates are lower. Animal home range size is affected by habitat configuration as well as food density. Observed habitat preference may be affected by food density. The expert system approach will be especially useful for the creation of multispecies models.
