Document Summary
Protected areas are insufficient for maintaining biodiversity and ecological integrity. Cannot function as isolated entities (too small and too isolated) Need to enlarge management context to include entire regional ecosystems. Attention has turned to notions of effectively enlarging protected areas by way of improving connectivity with other natural areas (protected and otherwise) The degree to which the landscape facilitates or impedes movement among resource patches. Thus combines a description of the physical structure of the landscape with an organism"s response to that structure. Linear habitats that differ from the matrix in which they are embedded. Daily travel continuous movement of individuals among primary habitat patches within home ranges. Predictable, periodic round-tip or cyclic movement of groups of individuals among discrete areas not used as other times of year. Movement of individuals that maintain genetic and demographic connectivity among populations. Movement of individuals to and through areas expected to provide connectivity under future conditions - ex.
