Landscape connectivity, the extent to which a landscape facilitates the flow of ecological
processes such as organism movement, has emerged as a central focus of landscape …

Context Dispersal plays a key role in linking populations, habitat (re)-colonization, and
species range expansion. As fragmentation and habitat loss are ubiquitous threats and can …

Aim There is enormous interest in applying connectivity modelling to resistance surfaces for
identifying corridors for conservation action. However, the multiple analytical approaches …

Context Connectivity has become a top conservation priority in response to landscape
fragmentation. Many methods have been developed to identify areas of the landscape with …

Aim Climate change alters the water cycle, potentially affecting the distribution of species.
Using an ensemble of species distribution models (SDMs), we predicted changes in …

Iran lies at the southernmost range limit of brown bears globally. Therefore, understanding
the habitat associations and patterns of population connectivity for brown bears in Iran is …

Conservation of large carnivores requires preservation of extensive core habitats and
linkages among them. The goal of this study was to identify core habitats and corridors by …

The importance of examining multiple hierarchical levels when modeling resource use for
wildlife has been acknowledged for decades. Multi-level resource selection functions have …

With increasing loss and fragmentation of habitats driving the emerging global extinction
crisis, paired with limited resources for conservation, there is an immense need to identify …

Abstract Models and metrics to measure ecological connectivity are now well-developed
and widely used in research and applications to mitigate the ecological impacts of climate …
