Incorporating connectivity into reserve selection procedures.
Journal Article
Briers, R. A. (2002)
Incorporating connectivity into reserve selection procedures. Biological Conservation. 103, 77-83. doi:10.1016/S0006-3207(01)00123-9. ISSN 0006-3207
Methods for selecting sites to be included in reserve networks generally neglect the spatial location of sites, often resulting in highly fragmented networks. This restricts t...
