Historical ranges of American bison (B. bison bison) and elk (Cervus elaphus canadensis) in North America. Additionally, future (2071–2100) climate envelopes under the IPSL-CM6A-LR general circulation model for the fossil-fueled ssp5-8.5 scenario based on current samples from contracted ranges and from the historical ranges (_hist_samples).
