will become scarcer in many corners of the world. Yet conflict between species over resources altered by climate change and other human disturbances “is a really poorly investigated arena,” Hayes said.
The study was born out of a trip Hayes and Berger took to Glacier in the summer of 2019, where the pair observed goats and sheep compete for two to three hours over a small patch of salt wetted by snowmelt. As the melting of mountain glaciers exposes salt licks high in the Rockies, the construction of roads through valleys covers up mineral deposits at lower elevations, raising the question: When should wildlife managers provide artificial salt licks?“We could manage some of these mineral resources more proactively for these populations,” Hayes said.
