Summary

This dataset contains information from 674 publications (academic and grey literature) that assessed the effects of climate variability and climate change on the 15 ungulate species that are native to the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Greenland. The publication contains literature published between 1947 and September 2020. Information documented includes study location, climate variables assessed, and ungulate outcomes measured (e.g., life history characteristics, population demographics, migratory behavior).

Purpose

The goal of this database was to assess the distribution and abundance of the evidence on the effects of climate variability and change on ungulates in North America. Cataloguing the existing science on this topic facilitates the identification of the range of climate-related impacts across ungulate species, populations, and geographies, and highlights knowledge clusters and gaps. Additionally, this map helps to address a commonly cited challenge to wildlife decision making: a lack of time. By removing the time-intensive step of searching the literature, this map enables managers to efficiently identify articles that are relevant to their focal populations and topics. The database can be used by managers to anticipate future changes in ungulate populations as the climate continues to change and can inform future research efforts aimed at enhancing this body of knowledge.
