Nevada Mule Deer Spring Mountains Routes

The Spring Mountains are critical habitat for the Spring Mountains mule deer herd in southern Nevada. The Spring Mountains west of Las Vegas, Nevada range in elevation from low meadows at 3,000 ft (910 m) to Charleston Peak at nearly 12,000 ft (3,632 m). Lower elevations are dominated by desert scrub and shrubland transitioning to Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree) and pinyon-juniper forest at midelevations, with mixed montane conifer including ponderosa pine and Pinus longaeva (bristlecone pine) pine at higher elevations, and sparse alpine grasses and forbs above the tree line. The migratory behavior of the Spring Mountains mule deer herd is variable, with a mix of year-round residents and short-distance elevational migrants. Lovell Canyon serves as a well-used corridor between high-elevation summer range near Mount Charleston and low-elevation winter range near Mountain Springs (fig. 12). In 2020, a wildlife underpass was completed to facilitate movement across State Route 160 and reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. Most of the land in the Spring Mountains is managed by the FS and the BLM and serves as a popular, year-round recreational destination. Encroaching development, prolonged drought conditions, wildfires, feral equids, and human recreation affect the persistence of the mule deer herd in the Spring Mountains.
These mapping layers show the location of the Migration routes for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Spring Mountains population in Nevada. They were developed from 63 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 18 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1−13 hours.

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. This dataset consists of a matrix of six land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021).  The resulting matrix has 64 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those six dates.

New Mexico Tesuque Pueblo Mule Deer Tesuque Pueblo Annual Range

The Tesuque Pueblo mule deer herd is primarily nonmigratory, using the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains (fig. 9). U.S. Highways 84 and 285 are the major routes from Santa Fe to areas in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, bisecting the Tesuque Pueblo reservation and creating a physical barrier for deer movement. Thus, mule deer in this herd were equipped with GPS collars to identify where mitigation efforts, like installing underpasses or fencing, may help mule deer cross busy highways successfully and reduce the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions. GPS collars were deployed on six mule deer as a part of this study: three females and three males. The female mule deer primarily used the northeastern portion of the Tesuque Pueblo reservation and the southeastern portions of the Nambe Pueblo reservation. The male mule deer primarily inhabited the urban private lands adjacent to the eastern boundary of the Tesuque Pueblo reservation. Their annual range primarily consists of pinyon pine-juniper woodlands and pinyon-juniper savannahs. The mule deer are culturally significant to the Tesuque Pueblo Tribal members.
These mapping layers show the location of the annual range for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Tesuque Pueblo population in Tesuque Pueblo. They were developed from 14 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 6 animals comprising GPS locations collected approximately every 4 hours.

New Mexico Tesuque Pueblo Elk Tesuque Pueblo Annual Range

The Tesuque Pueblo elk herd is primarily nonmigratory. The elk in this herd came to the region in the late 1990s and early 2000s, likely because of displacement by large fires in the Jemez Mountains. U.S. Highways 84 and 285 bisect the Tesuque Pueblo, and create a physical barrier for elk movement, which contributes to potential elk-vehicle collisions. Two female elk were fitted with GPS collars to track the habitat and lands used by this herd. The elk seasonally use the western section of the Tesuque Pueblo (fig. 34). Similar to the Tesuque Pueblo mule deer herd (see the “Tesuque Pueblo Mule Deer” section of this report), the annual range of the Tesuque Pueblo elk herd primarily consists of pinyon-juniper woodlands and pinyon-juniper savannah. The elk use the southwest area of Tesuque Pueblo and private lands southwest of the reservation. The herd also uses BLM and FS lands adjacent to Tesuque Pueblo, in the Caja del Rio Plateau. A lower elevation and drier section of the FS lands, the Caja del Rio Plateau is a pinyon-juniper-dominated vegetation zone with areas of sage and mixed grasses. The elk are culturally significant to the Pueblo of Tesuque, New Mexico members.
These mapping layers show the location of the annual range for elk (Cervus canadensis) in the Tesuque Pueblo population in Tesuque Pueblo. They were developed from 6 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 2 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-4 hour.

New Mexico Elk Jemez Winter ranges

The Jemez elk herd resides in the Jemez Mountains within the Valles Caldera National Preserve. This herd was originally included in Ungulate Migrations of the Western United States, Volume 2 (Kauffman and others, 2022), but has been updated for this volume owing to the acquisition of new data from 40 additional adult females. The Jemez elk are only partially migratory, with some residents remaining within the Valles Caldera year-round, while others exhibit two distinct seasonal movement patterns. The first movement pattern occurs during midwinter (January–February; arrows labeled 1) when numerous individuals move to the lower elevation slopes of the Valles Caldera, primarily southeast towards Bandelier National Monument. The second movement is more typical of a spring and fall migratory movement (arrows labeled 2), with individuals traveling north to La Grulla Plateau for the summer and returning to the Valles Caldera for winter. The primary challenge for migrating individuals is crossing State Route 4 when traveling to Bandelier National Monument.
These mapping layers show the location of the winter ranges for elk (&lt;i&gt;Cervus canadensis&lt;/i&gt;) in the Jemez population in New Mexico. They were developed from 179 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 122 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 3 to 6 hours.

California Pronghorn Mount Dome Annual Range

The Mount Dome pronghorn herd contains a mixture of residents and short distance, elevation-based migrants, but this herd does not migrate between traditional summer and winter seasonal ranges. Instead, much of the herd displays a somewhat nomadic migratory tendency, slowly moving up or down elevational gradients. Long distance movements from this herd are rare since it is largely surrounded by geographical and anthropogenic features with low permeability to movement. Some individuals used higher elevation areas throughout the summer, though this pattern was not ubiquitous. Therefore, annual home ranges were modeled using year-round data to demarcate high use areas (fig. XXX). Drought, increasing fire frequency, invasive annual grasses, and juniper encroachment negatively affect habitat for pronghorn. Agricultural development within Butte Valley has resulted in some loss of historic pronghorn habitat. Pronghorn have declined significantly from historic highs within this herd but have remained fairly stable at low numbers in recent years (Trausch and others, 2020). Juniper removal on public and private lands in the unit have potential to improve habitat quantity and quality (Ewanyk, 2020).
These mapping layers show the location of the annual range for pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the Mount Dome population in California. They were developed from 12 annual range sequences collected from a sample size of 9 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-2 hours.

California Pronghorn Likely Tables Migration Routes

The Likely Tables herd contains migrants, but this herd does not migrate between traditional summer and winter seasonal ranges. Instead, much of the herd displays a nomadic tendency, slowly migrating north for the summer using various high use areas as they move. Therefore, annual ranges were modeled using year-round data to demarcate high use areas in lieu modeling specific winter ranges. A high use area being used during winter by many of the collared animals is west of the Warner Mountains, east of U.S. Highway 395, and north of Moon Lake. Some animals live in the agricultural fields west of U.S. Highway 395. There appears to be little if any movement across the highway, which is fenced on both sides in this area. Summer ranges are spread out, with some individuals moving as far north as Goose Lake. A few outliers in the herd moved long distances south toward the Lassen herd or east to Nevada. Drought, increasing fire frequency, invasive annual grasses, and juniper encroachment negatively affect pronghorn habitat. Recent population surveys indicate a declining population (Trausch and others, 2020). Juniper removal on public and private lands have potential to improve habitat quality and potentially reduce predation (Ewanyk, 2020). Fences on public and private lands affect movement corridors and increase crossing and/or migration times. Recent fence modifications on BLM lands have shown potential to ease pronghorn movements (Hudgens, 2022).
These mapping layers show the location of the migration routes for pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the Likely Tables population in California. They were developed from 29 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 17 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-4 hours.

California Pronghorn Lassen Winter Range

The Lassen herd winters in lower elevations in the Secret Valley, Bull Flat, and the Five Springs Wilderness Study Area north of the Skedaddle Mountains and east of Shaffer Mountain, as well as in the Dry Valley Rim Wilderness Study Area. Summer ranges are spread out, with some individuals migrating north to the Madeline Plains and others heading west to Willow Creek Valley, Grasshopper Valley, and Eagle Lake (fig. XXX). An unknown portion of the herd are better characterized as residents. The primary threat to pronghorn in the Lassen herd is the conversion of perennial shrublands to exotic annual grasslands following wildfires. The 2012 Rush Fire burned 271,911 acres in Lassen County within the boundary of the Lassen herd, expanding invasive annual grasslands with altered fire regimes which increase fire frequency and promote the further expansion of exotic grasses. Overabundant free-roaming equids, feral horses and burros, regularly exceed the appropriate management level of the Twin Peaks Herd Management Area, thereby reducing forage and water available for pronghorn. The expansion of juniper into the shrub steppe limits the amount of forage available for pronghorn while increasing the risk of mountain lion predation. The population has been stable to slightly increasing since the 1992-1993 winter die off in northeast California, averaging 974 animals counted during aerial winter surveys (B. Ehler, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, written commun., 2023). CDFW is planning to mark 35 pronghorn with GPS collars in winter 2024 to estimate the population using mark resight surveys.
These mapping layers show the location of the winter ranges for pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the Lassen population in California. They were developed from 9 winter range sequences collected from a sample size of 6 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-6 hours.
