Context All the components of landscape and genetic structures can be associated with the nodes and links of landscape graphs and genetic graphs. Yet, these graphs have long been used separately despite the potential for their combined use in landscape genetics. Objectives First, comparing these graphs could be an effective way to disentangle the influence of intra-patch features from that of inter-patch connectivity on genetic structure or to assess whether intra-population genetic diversity an...

My four-year- old daughter Lucy has a favorite book called All Are Welcome. In it, the authors write, “You have a place here. You have a space here. You are welcome here.” At Union Street Media, we believe in fostering a community that actively advocates for and supports each others’ success. We are on a...

Context Neutral landscape models are useful and popular tools for exploring effects of spatial patterns on ecological processes. Most neutral landscape models mimic natural landscape patterns that often consist of curved, complex, and sometimes fractal shapes. However, human-dominated landscapes often have a spatial rectilinear pattern that is highly aligned and dominated by straight lines and right angles. Objectives As existing rectilinear neutral landscape models lack controls over either the...

Context Global biodiversity decreases rapidly, driven by various factors ranging from climate change to anthropogenic activities. Identifying driving forces of population decline is critical for biological conservation. Time-series data are especially valuable for this goal, but unfortunately, high-quality time-series data are generally lacking, hampering evidences-based conservation policy making. Objectives In this study, we examined how population growth rates of wintering waterbird species c...

Context Public-private partnerships are needed to conserve landscapes, waterscapes, and seascapes. Landscape conservation design (LCD) translates shared objectives into spatial priorities to guide conservation efforts and foster collaboration among partners at the landscape level. Objective We examined LCD projects in the eastern United States to identify implementation and coordination challenges and propose solutions that facilitate integration across projects in instances when coordination an...

Context The cane toad (Rhinella marina) is one of the most globally significant and well-studied invasive alien species, and the detrimental impacts of its invasions warrant the design and application of decision support tools. While many models have been developed for guiding policies addressing cane toad invasions, none reliably predict the species’ population dynamics at scales relevant to on-the-ground management. Objectives We describe virToad—an individual-based life-history simulator ...

Context Obtaining accurate and precise maps of landscape features often requires intensive spatial sampling and interpolation. The data required to generate reliable interpolated maps varies with sampling density and landscape heterogeneity. However, there has been no rigorous examination of sampling density relative to landscape characteristics and interpolation methods. Objectives Our objective was to characterize the 3-way relationship among sampling density, interpolation method, and landsca...
