Keywords: behavioral plasticity; conditional strategy; endangered species; facultative migration; Ovis canadensis sierrae; seasonal adaptation; vacillating migration EN behavioral plasticity conditional strategy endangered species facultative migration Ovis canadensis sierrae seasonal adaptation vacillating migration 1 4 4 08/05/21 20210801 NES 210801 Movement is among the most important adaptations of animals living in seasonal environments. Although movement behaviors often are categorized as migration, residency, or nomadism, movement behavior is a continuum (Cagnacci et al. 2011, Sawyer et al. 2016). Here, we report a novel movement behavior for altitudinal migration observed in Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep ( I Ovis canadensis sierrae i ; hereafter Sierra bighorn), which we suspect could have important demographic and fitness consequences. Lumping vacillating migration with other types of movement behavior could limit our understanding of potential fitness consequences of this intermediate behavior.
