Using behavioral landscape ecology to predict species' responses to land-use and climate change
Climate change and habitat destruction are widely recognized as major threats to species'
survival. As a result of these anthropogenic impacts, species are often forced into novel …

Introducing a 'stochastic movement simulator'for estimating habitat connectivity
SCF Palmer, A Coulon… - Methods in Ecology and …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Estimating and improving landscape connectivity has become a key topic in conservation
biology. While a range of connectivity indices exist and are widely used to inform spatial …

A mechanistic simulation model of seed dispersal by animals
H Will, O Tackenberg - Journal of Ecology, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Summary 1 In order to investigate seed dispersal by animals on a landscape scale, we
developed the spatially explicit, individual‐based mechanistic model SEED (Simulation of …

Towards better prediction of seed dispersal by animals
Animals are the most important dispersal vector for a vast number of terrestrial plants. 2.
Whereas our understanding of dispersal by wind has taken enormous conceptual strides in …

ZonalMetrics-a Python toolbox for zonal landscape structure analysis
We present a Python toolbox for the calculation of zonal landscape metrics. Instead of global
calculations focusing on the whole landscape, the proposed ZonalMetrics toolbox allows the …

Incorporating the perceptual range of animals into connectivity models
The perceptual range of an animal towards different landscape elements affects its
movements through heterogeneous landscapes. However, empirical knowledge and …

[HTML][HTML] Birds' gap-crossing in open matrices depends on landscape structure, tree size, and predation risk
CM Silva, JAC Pereira, JDSP Gusmões… - Perspectives in Ecology …, 2020 - Elsevier
Scattered trees are frequently considered “keystone structures” due to their disproportionate
contribution in facilitating movement across the landscape. However, which landscape …

Using individual-based movement models to assess inter-patch connectivity for large carnivores in fragmented landscapes
Most rare and endangered large carnivores such as tiger (Panthera tigris) exist in human-
dominated landscapes as small, fragmented and isolated populations across their range …

Spatiotemporal analysis of an acoustic environment: interactions between landscape features and sounds
So far landscape analysis meant analysis of the spatial pattern of land cover or land use.
However, biological organisms do not perceive the landscape only as land cover or land …
