Predicting the continuum between corridors and barriers to animal movements using Step Selection Functions and Randomized Shortest Paths

Abstract: Summary1. The loss, fragmentation and degradation of habitat everywhere on Earth prompts increasing attention to identifying landscape features that support animal movement (corridors) or impedes it (barriers). Most algorithms used to predict corridors assume that animals move through preferred habitat either optimally (e.g. least cost path) or as random walkers (e.g. current models), but neither extreme is realistic. 2. We propose that corridors and barriers are two sides of the same coin and that animals exp… Show more

“…These distances surpass average dispersal distances for male grizzly bears recorded in the northern Rocky Mountains (30-42 km), but overlap the range of maximum distances observed (67-176 km; Blanchard and Knight 1991, McLellan and Hovey 2001, Proctor et al 2004. It was only by constraining the starting and end nodes of paths using the RSP approach (Panzacchi et al 2016) that we were able to predict potential paths linking the two populations. Nonetheless, the probability of successful dispersal may still be low, despite recent population expansion.…”

“…To avoid conductance values compressing against the boundary of the [0,1] interval, we shifted each x i b value by subtracting the median x i b value for the entire study area (i.e., the median x i b value thus corresponds to a relative probability of 0.5; Panzacchi et al 2016). Conductance values for each cell i were based on the logit À1 (x i b), where x i is the vector of covariate values associated with cell i and b the vector of estimated SSF model coefficients.…”
