From: Drivers of spring migration phenology in Rocky Mountain elk
Spatial distribution of spring migratory routes in four populations of Rocky Mountain Elk in the Colorado Rocky Mountains tracked between 2017 and 2021 (generated from QGIS 3.32.3). Each contiguous line and color represent an individual and their migration route. Herds are labeled and herd-specific sample sizes used in our analyses are shown. Basemaps depict hillshade to illustrate topography. Avalanche Creek elk traveled straight-line distances of µ = 15.2 + /- 5 km (mean + /- standard deviation), Bear’s Ears elk traveled µ = 80.3 + /- 21 km, Trinchera elk traveled µ = 14.3 + /- 5.2 km, and Uncompahgre Plateau elk traveled µ = 29.5 + /- 15.1 km.
