Title
Belote et al. connectivity Northern Rockies [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
Belote, R. T., Barnett, K., Zeller, K., Brennan, A., & Gage, J. (2022).Context: Conservation scientists recommend maintaining and restoring ecological connectivity to sustain biodiversity in the face of land-use and climate change. Alternative connectivity assessments conducted at multiple spatial scales are needed to understand consequences of varying assumptions and for use in multi-scale conservation planning.Objectives: We compared mapped output from different model scenarios conducted to identify areas important for ecological connectivity across North America. We asked how areas important for connectivity vary with spatial scale and assumptions regarding the way in which human modification affects landscape resistance.Methods: We conducted a factorial experiment using omnidirectional connectivity analyses across North America where we crossed "treatments" represented by four moving window sizes and three resistance surfaces. The three resistance surfaces represent a gradient in species' sensitivity to human modification.
