These findings show how elevated temperatures that will become increasingly common with future climate changes can increase interspecific contacts around critical water resources. In mixed wildlife‐livestock systems, maintaining wildlife‐only water sources may be a practical management tool to mitigate human‐wildlife conflict and disease transmission ...
