Corridor Mapping Team: Ungulate Migrations of the West
Wyoming Migration Initiative
World's Longest Mule Deer Migration
Conservation and Stewardship Atlas
Early Mule Deer and Late Ones Get Herbs
Advancing the conservation and understanding of Wyoming's migratory hooved animals (mule deer, elk, pronghorn, etc.). The Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit is led by USGS federal researchers. The Wyoming Migration Initiative is a University of Wyoming’s Zoology and Physiology Department-based collaborative of biologists, photographers, mapmakers, and writers working to research animal migration and share that information with the public using a variety of engagement platforms, including in-person learning opportunities. This collaborative works closely with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, often developing collaborative projects designed to provide useful information for state wildlife managers.
Ungulate Migrations of the Western U.S. Volumes 1-5
Many ungulates migrate between distinct summer and winter ranges to take advantage of spatially and temporally variable food sources and avoid threats such as predators and deep snow. In 2018, the U.S. Department of the Interior established Secretarial Order 3362, which provided Federal support to expand existing research efforts to study ungulate populations.
Wild Migrations Atlas of Wyoming
Published in 2018, Wild Migrations is a one-of-a-kind atlas that has revolutionized scientific understanding and public appreciation for ungulate migrations. GPS data from thousands of mule deer, elk, moose, bison, bighorn sheep, and pronghorn are helping state and federal agencies identify and conserve critical migration corridors across millions of acres in the West.
