Conservation practitioners have long recognized ecological connectivity as a global priority
for preserving biodiversity and ecosystem function. In the early years of conservation …

Resistance surfaces are often used to fill gaps in our knowledge surrounding animal
movement and are frequently the basis for modeling connectivity associated with …

They may influence us as individuals by their encouragement and guidance; they may affect
their community through their untiring commitment to service and the greater good; or they …

The metabolic costs of animal movement have been studied extensively under laboratory
conditions, although frequently these are a poor approximation of the costs of operating in …

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

The rapid growth of landscape genetics is both exciting and motivating, but it is also
accompanied by tremendous challenges. This chapter highlights some of these challenges …

The successful movement of individuals is fundamental to life. Facilitating these movements
by promoting ecological connectivity has become a central theme in ecology and …

The need to conserve and create linkages among fragmented habitats has given rise to a
range of techniques for maximizing connectivity. Methods to identify optimal habitat linkages …

Concern about the effects of habitat fragmentation has led to increasing interest in dispersal
and connectivity modelling. Most modern techniques for connectivity modelling have …

The goal of this chapter is to describe the state of the art in quantitative corridor and
connectivity modelling. It reviews several critical issues in modelling, and provides expert …
