Migration doesn’t always look like a single line from Point A to Point B.
According to the Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration’s (GIUM) pronghorn research, pronghorn in southern Alberta do not typically follow established corridors. Instead, they use multiple pathways that can vary from year to year.
Their movements also respond to seasonal conditions. In fall, pronghorn move toward areas with more abundant silver sagebrush, an important winter food source. In spring, they generally follow the green-up of vegetation northward toward fawning and summer ranges.
That variability is one reason migration research matters.
Understanding how animals use an entire landscape can help conservationists identify the places and connections that need to remain functional.
