Dry forests have a great environmental, social and economic value due to the ecosystem services they provide and the biodiversity they contain, and are being affected by the strong atmospheric fluctuations generated by the increasing climate variability of the last decades, endangering species of flora and fauna as representative as the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus peruvianus) in the tropical premontane zones of the western slope of the Andes, Therefore, we sought to analyze the relationship between the vigor of the vegetation cover and the historical fluctuations of the population density of white-tailed deer, with climatic variations and the incidence of El Niño Costero in the Coto de Caza El Angolo and its buffer zone in the period 1984-2023. For this purpose, statistical data of white-tailed deer in the study area and vegetation vigorousness levels determined with the n...
