Ecological corridors for which species?

Overwhelming evidence points to the importance of maintaining connectivity given rapidly fragmenting habitats and climate change. Many efforts identify where ecological corridors should be placed are based on estimates structural that take advantage readily available land-cover data. We provide an overview methodology review various limitations these methods for functional -- degree which facilitate movement organisms. These include not accounting dispersal complexities specific habitat requirements focal species, invisible barriers movement. Also, what extent will resulting serve most vulnerable species under a changing climate? describe several connectivity-modeling approaches designed climate-wise. Assessing traits may make them more susceptible extinction is one way prioritize warrant additional data collection demographic analyses improve likelihood function them. There substantial such as limited or ability well geographic range restrictions vulnerable. Therefore, we suggest using guide focal-species selection. Finally, discuss employing new technologies monitor individual utilization varying in width other characteristics help plan verify species.
