Linking like with like: optimising connectivity between environmentally-similar...
Alagador, Diogo; Triviño, Maria; Cerdeira, Jorge O.; Brás, Raúl; Araújo, Miguel B.Habitat fragmentation is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. To minimise the effect of fragmentation on biodiversity, connectivity between otherwise isolated habitats should be promoted. However, the identification of linkages favouring connectivity is not trivial. Firstly, they compete with other land uses, so they need to be cost-efficient. Secondly, linkages for one species might be barriers for oth...
Linking habitats for multiple species
Brás, Raúl; Cerdeira, Jorge O.; Alagador, Diogo; Araújo, Miguel B.The establishment of linkages between habitats is of great importance to avert the detrimental impacts of land fragmentation and climate change on biodiversity. Linkages need to be cost-efficient, and should account for specific dispersal requirements of species. Since cost-efficient linkages defined independently for each individual species are more costly than linkages optimised for multiple species, there is...
