文摘
- •
We use integer programming to model spatial/functional connectivity in site selection.
- •
We apply the model to test data sets to demonstrate the merits of our approach.
- •
Imposing functional connectivity rules out the selection of unfavorable habitat sites.
- •
We find optimal connected reserve configurations for protecting an at-risk species.
- •
Functionally connected and structurally contiguous reserves differ significantly.
