Dynamic habitat suitability and connectivity analyses to inform management of an invasive species and conservation of its native competitor

Abstract: Forecasting habitat suitability and connectivity can be central to both controlling invasive species expansion and promoting native species conservation, especially under changing climate conditions. This study aimed to identify and prioritize areas in Spain to control the expansion of one of the most harmful invasive species in Europe, while conserving its counterpart, the endangered European mink, under current and future conditions. We used dynamic ensemble habitat suitability and connectivity models to pre… Show more

“…Therefore, a su cient degree of movement is necessary for species' long-term survival, and landscape connectivity assessments are central to conservation science and widely utilized in biodiversity conservation initiatives 14 . However, these wildlife movements can also carry out unintended consequences such as the spread of diseases, pests, or invasive species and landscape connectivity assessments can also locate the areas that contribute the most to the spread of these threats [15][16][17] . Therefore, and despite being neglected in earlier studies, wild boar connectivity predictions at a large scale can be useful tools to identify important areas to control ASF spread.…”
