LQGraph: A software package for optimizing connectivity in conservation planning
LQGraph implements methods for optimizing the connectivity of sites administered to protect biodiversity (a conservation area network). The methods are suitable for existing protected areas (for example, national parks) or a proposed network. We model the landscape using graphs. The user provides a quality score for each site in the landscape outside the conservation areas. Based on these score...
متن کاملConservation Biology: Predicting Birds' Responses to Forest Fragmentation
Understanding species' ecological responses to habitat fragmentation is critical for biodiversity conservation, especially in tropical forests. A detailed recent study has shown that changes in the abundances of bird species following fragmentation may be dramatic and unpredictable.

متن کاملRegional forest fragmentation and the nesting success of migratory birds.
Forest fragmentation, the disruption in the continuity of forest habitat, is hypothesized to be a major cause of population decline for some species of forest birds because fragmentation reduces nesting (reproductive) success. Nest predation and parasitism by cowbirds increased with forest fragmentation in nine midwestern (United States) landscapes that varied from 6 to 95 percent forest cover ...
متن کاملSetting Priorities for Regional Conservation Planning in the Mediterranean Sea
Spatial prioritization in conservation is required to direct limited resources to where actions are most urgently needed and most likely to produce effective conservation outcomes. In an effort to advance the protection of a highly threatened hotspot of marine biodiversity, the Mediterranean Sea, multiple spatial conservation plans have been developed in recent years. Here, we review and integr...
