Combined effects of landscape fragmentation and sampling frequency of movement data on the assessment of landscape connectivity [PDF]
Movement EcologyBackground Network theory is largely applied in real-world systems to assess landscape connectivity using empirical or theoretical networks. Empirical networks are usually built from discontinuous individual movement trajectories without knowing the ...

Repurposing Vacant Land through Landscape Connectivity. [PDF]
Landsc J, 2017 Storm surge protection systems have proven effective in protecting populations in developed areas and can allow for development in otherwise potentially flood-prone areas. Resultant intensification of land conversion can result in large scale habitat fragmentation. Simultaneously, urbanized areas worldwide are increasingly accumulating large amounts of
