Introducing ProNet: a connectivity metric for protected area networks
The new Protected Network metric from Dave Theobald and colleagues addresses the science-practice gap by acting as a simple structural connectivity metric that can be easily described, quickly communicated, and readily computed.
Connectivity & Climate Change
Which conservation strategies lead to the highest connectivity?
A comparison of four land-acquisition strategies aids planners in deciding how to grow protected area networks for the future.
Connectivity Management
Balancing wind energy and migratory corridors for birds
Data from whooping cranes show they tend to avoid stopover sites in association with wind turbine infrastructure, but site optimization at a multi-state scale could better balance energy and conservation goals.
