Landscape matters: Deriving a generalizable understanding of population connectivity using empirical data and graph theory
Divyashree Rana, Samuel A. Cushman, Uma Ramakrishnan
This study uses graph theory to analyze connectivity patterns across 11 Indian carnivore species in diverse landscapes, finding that larger species better overcome fragmentation but depend on high-quality patches, while landscape features influence network-level connectivity more than species traits.
