Animal migrations are ecologically, culturally, and economically important. Ungulate populations in many parts of Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas migrate long distances to access seasonally available resources, traversing vast landscapes in large numbers. Yet some migrations are declining, raising concerns among scientists and natural resource managers. We synthesize recent advances in ungulate migration ecology with relevance to management and policy. Using case studies from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), we show how new tools can be applied to map ungulate migrations and assess threats across multiple seasonal habitats, serving as a conservation roadmap. To help conserve ungulate migrations, we also propose a transboundary science, policy, and management framework that could be adapted beyond the GYE and that encompasses the needs of multiple species. The key elements of this framework consist of more widespread mapping and assessment of migrations, improved federal and state coordination across jurisdictional lines, increased investment in private land conservation, and strong engagement of local stakeholders positioned to sustain conservation activities over the long term.

保护跨界野生动植物迁徙：大黄石生态系统的最新见解

动物迁徙在生态，文化和经济上都很重要。非洲，亚洲，欧洲和美洲许多地区的人口稀少群体迁移距离很远，以获取季节性可用资源，遍历了大片土地。然而，一些移民正在减少，这引起了科学家和自然资源管理者的关注。我们综合了与管理和政策相关的有蹄类迁移生态学的最新进展。通过使用大黄石生态系统（GYE）的案例研究，我们展示了如何应用新工具绘制有蹄类动物迁徙图并评估多个季节性生境之间的威胁，并以此作为保护路线图。为了保护有蹄类动物的迁徙，我们还提出了一项跨界科学，政策，和管理框架，可以在GYE之外进行调整，并涵盖多种物种的需求。该框架的主要内容包括更广泛的移民图和评估，跨辖区的联邦和州之间的协调，对私人土地保护的投资增加以及旨在长期维持保护活动的地方利益相关者的大力参与。
