“…Animal movements are driven by the behavior and the search to fulfil animal’s needs (Avgar et al, 2013), needs that can be met by resources: food, water, shelter, mates, and suitable nesting sites. Such movement is also modulated by simultaneous efforts to minimize predation risk (Eifler and Eifler, 2014; Liu et al, 2021), avoid inhospitable areas (Beyer et al, 2016), and conserve energy or water (Christian, Webb and Schultz, 2003). Barriers to animal movements are increasingly anthropogenic, such as impassable structures (e.g., roads, walls, and dams), as well as large expanses of developed areas or agricultural land, which is unsuitable for many species of wildlife (Brooks, 2003; Brodie et al, 2016; Berger-Tal and Saltz, 2019).…”
