The study of landscape connectivity in conservation has increased considerably since the
early part of the 21st century. While the implications of landscape connectivity are self …

Connectivity is a vital component of metapopulation and landscape ecology, influencing
fundamental processes such as population dynamics, evolution, and community responses …

Glacial cycles have played a dominant role in shaping the genetic structure and distribution
of biota in northwestern North America. The two major ice age refugia of Beringia and the …

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 ability to identify regions of high functional connectivity for multiple wildlife species is of
conservation interest with respect to habitat management and corridor planning. We present …

Landscape genetics plays an increasingly important role in the management and
conservation of species. Here, we highlight some of the opportunities and challenges in …

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 …

Habitat loss and fragmentation are major threats to global biodiversity. Felids, among the
many taxa experiencing population declines and range contraction around the world, are …

Ecological sustainability has recently risen to prominence in scientific research and
management applications. Approaches to measuring ecological connectivity and their …
