Human Recreation and Fire History Shape Landscape Connectivity for an Endangered Forest Carnivore

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Roads and trails can impede wildlife movement, but their permeability varies with human use and fire history. We combined GPS telemetry from 45 endangered southern Sierra Nevada fishers (Pekania pennanti) with smartphone‐derived human mobility data to estimate crossing probability across road and trail segments. Fishers were about 2.5 times more likely

Designing multi‐site studies for external validity: Site selection via synthetic purposive sampling

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Multi‐site/context studies have become popular strategies to address the most common and challenging external validity concerns about contexts. Under such studies, scholars conduct causal studies in each site and evaluate whether findings generalize across sites. Despite the potential, there has been little guidance on the fundamental research
