Use of Population Viability Analysis and Reserve Selection Algorithms in Regional Conservation Plans

Use of Population Viability Analysis and Reserve Selection Algorithms in Regional Conservation Plans
Current reserve selection algorithms have difficulty evaluating connectivity and other factors necessary to conserve wide-ranging species in developing landscapes. Conversely, population viability analyses may incorporate detailed demographic data, but often lack sufficient spatial detail or are limited to too few taxa to be relevant to regional conservation plans. We developed a regional conservation plan for mammalian carnivores in the Rocky Mountain region using both a reserve selection algorithm (SITES) and a spatially explicit population model (PATCH).
