Measuring woodland connectivity for wood cricket (Nemobius sylvestris) on the Isle of Wight, UK [PDF]

, 2009
Spatial modelling approaches are increasingly used to design and direct management and conservation plans at the landscape scale. One of the main developments is buffer-radius approaches that use information on the dispersal ability of species to create ...

An objective approach to select surrogate species for connectivity conservation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionConnected landscapes can increase the effectiveness of protected areas by facilitating individual movement and gene flow between populations, thereby increasing the persistence of species even in fragmented habitats.

Achieving climate connectivity in a fragmented landscape [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016
Significance Many plants and animals will need to move large distances to track preferred climates, but fragmentation and barriers limit their movements. We asked to what degree and where species will be able to track suitable climates. We demonstrate that only 41% of US natural land area is currently connected enough to allow species

Detecting Critical Scales in Fragmented Landscapes

Ecology and Society, 1997
We develop methods for quantifying habitat connectivity at multiple scales and assigning conservation priority to habitat patches based on their contribution to connectivity.

Microbial diversity in an intensively managed landscape is structured by landscape connectivity [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2017
Intensively managed land increases the rate of nutrient and particle transport within a basin, but the impact of these changes on microbial community assembly patterns at the basin scale is not yet understood. The objective of this study was to investigate how landscape connectivity and dispersal impacts microbial diversity in an agricultural-dominated

Landscape connectivity and spatial prioritization in an urbanising world: A network analysis approach for a threatened amphibian [PDF]

, 2019
Habitat fragmentation affects amphibian populations worldwide. Urban expansion and associated infrastructure are a main cause of habitat degradation and loss of landscape-scale habitat connectivity.

Positive responses of flower visiting bees to landscape heterogeneity depend on functional connectivity levels

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2017
Landscape changes can lead to bee species loss, what impairs proper landscape level pollination processes, impacting both nature conservation and human welfare.

Evolution of landscape dynamics in the Yangtze River Delta from 2000 to 2020

Journal of Water and Climate Change, 2022
Based on the 2000–2020 land cover data, the landscape dynamics and landscape pattern index are used to study the landscape pattern changes of the Yangtze River Delta.

Application of graph-based indices to map and develop a connectivity importance index for large mammal conservation in a tropical region: A case study in Selangor State, Peninsular Malaysia

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Land use changes are driving the fragmentation of natural habitats in Peninsular Malaysia, even within protected areas, which results in a loss of habitat connections.
