Towns and Trails Drive Carnivore Connectivity using a Step Selection Approach

2021-02-25

Abstract excerpt

Global increases in human activity threaten connectivity of animal populations. Protection and restoration of animal movement corridors requires robust models to forecast the effects of human activity on connectivity. Recent advances in the field of animal movement ecology and step selection functions offer new approaches for estimating connectivity. We show how a combination of hidden Markov movement models and s...
