Connectivity Science
Rethinking landscape ecology and metapopulation dynamics
A more realistic exploration of metapopulation dynamics in fragmenting landscapes reveals that species may respond in ways that contradict classic expectations.
Connectivity Management
Identifying stepping stones to increase connectivity
A framework that combines multiple indicator values can be used to guide conservation decisions when designating stepping stones for greater connectivity.
Connectivity & Climate Change
Management actions to restore climate refugia
Simulations show that increasing spatial variability and decreasing temporal variability across landscapes has quantifiable effects on the ability for dispersal-limited species to track climate change.
Connectivity Policy
Ecological corridors protected by law in Brazil's Pantanal region
Two recent articles of legislation in Brazil have given stronger protections to ecological connectivity in the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland and home to immense biodiversity.
