Herd size has declined significantly (>70%) from historical peak levels, likely due to habitat loss and vehicle collisions. A large increase in housing development and traffic along the Highway 395 corridor during the past 20 years has contributed to population declines for this herd. Significant barriers include fencing along Carson River and outlying suburban areas in Carson City, Minden, and Gardnerville, Nevada.\nThese data provide the location of migration routes for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Carson River population in California and Nevada. They were developed from 110 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 45 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2-12 hours.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9TKA3L8", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.620e4ae4d34e6c7e83baa380.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_620e4ae4d34e6c7e83baa380", "keyword": ["California", "Nevada", "USGS:620e4ae4d34e6c7e83baa380", "United States", "animal behavior", "migration (organisms)", "migration route", "migratory species"], "modified": "2022-04-07T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-120.1703, 38.4063, -119.2210, 39.3356", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Migration routes of Mule Deer in the Carson River Herd in California and Nevada"}
