Habitat loss is the greatest threat to large carnivores around the world. Maintenance of
functional connectivity in fragmented landscapes is important for long-term species …

Abstract Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 15.1. 1 proposes to quantify “Forest
area as a proportion of total land area” in order to achieve SDG target 15.1. While area …

Aim Maintaining connectivity is critical for long‐term persistence of wild carnivores in
landscapes fragmented due to anthropogenic activity. We examined spatial genetic structure …

Unprecedented advances in sequencing technology in the past decade allow a better
understanding of genetic variation and its partitioning in natural populations. Such inference …

The threat of habitat fragmentation and population isolation looms large over much of
biodiversity in this human-dominated epoch. Species-rich South Asia is made particularly …

A major goal of green infrastructure (GI) is to provide functional networks of habitats and
ecosystems to maintain biodiversity long-term, while at the same time optimizing landscape …

As ecological data and associated analyses become more widely available, synthesizing
results for effective communication with stakeholders is essential. In the case of wildlife …

Context Carnivores in the central Iranian plateau have experienced considerable declines in
their populations during the last century. Ecological niche models can inform conservation …

Global land-use changes and rapid infrastructure development necessitate identification
and conservation of wildlife corridors. Connectivity through corridors is shaped by species' …

Most endangered species exist today in small populations, many of which are isolated.
Evolution in such populations is largely governed by genetic drift. Empirical evidence for drift …
