# Climatically robust multi-scale species distribution models to support pronghorn recovery in California [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.bcc2fqzmx](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.bcc2fqzmx) Data include raw pronghorn locations and environmental predictors to generate distribution and habitat models, and the outputs of these models. ## Description of the data and file structure Data are of three kinds: 1.
