Global patterns and gaps in the study of terrestrial birds and mammals' use of freshwater sources: a mapping review

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Water availability strongly influences the ecology of terrestrial birds and mammals. It will likely play an increasing role as a limiting factor as climate change and human demand make water availability scarcer. However, we lack a knowledge synthesis describing our current understanding of the use of water sources, particularly for wildlife hydration.
