The Eco-field Hypothesis: Toward a Cognitive Landscape (2005, background): “2003), linking population ecology (With and Crist 1995; Hanski 1999; Goodwin 2003) and ecological processes (Miller and Urban 2000).”
Corridors for Conservation: Integrating Pattern and Process (2006, background): “Second, this simplified, categorical view of corridors homogenizes species and spatial scales for corridor planning, whereas functional connectivity is inevitably species-specific (Goodwin 2003, Lidicker 1999, Puth & Wilson 2001).”
Does the type of matrix matter? A quantitative review of the evidence (2010, background): “…and Fahrig 2000), it is one of the primary mechanisms driving population- and community-level processes (Goheen et al. 2003; Revilla et al. 2004; Schooley and Wiens 2005; Cronin 2007), and provides the most direct estimate of functional connectivity (Goodwin 2003; Fagan and Calabrese 2006).”
Use of resistance surfaces for landscape genetic studies: considerations for parameterization and analysis (2010, methodology): “These transect-based methods have the potential to lead to unbiased estimates of landscape connectivity, because they correctly use the empirical (i.e. genetic) data as the dependent variable and then infer landscape influences on functional connectivity based on these empirical data (Goodwin 2003).”
MEASURING LANDSCAPE CONNECTIVITY: THE CHALLENGE OF BEHAVIORAL LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY (2005, background): “This is partly reflected by the lack of consensus on how to measure landscape connectivity (Tischendorf and Fahrig 2000a, b, Moilanen and Hanski 2001, Goodwin 2003).”

Genetic isolation by distance and landscape connectivity in the American marten (Martes americana) (2006, unknown): “In this paper the functional connectivity between pairs of individuals was treated as an independent variable (Goodwin 2003) and examined by relying on somewhat arbitrary choices of resistance values and resolution of friction maps.”

Multispecies assessment of core areas and connectivity of desert carnivores in central Iran (2018, background): “Landscape connectivity (Kindlmann & Burel, 2008; Taylor, Fahrig, Henein, & Merriam, 1993) is species- specific and determined by the interactions between landscape structure and species’ behaviour (Goodwin, 2003).”
Effect of historic landscape change on the genetic structure of the bush-cricket Metrioptera roeseli (2006, background): “Thus, landscape connectivity plays a double role in that it is dependent on the interaction of landscape pattern and organism behaviour on the one hand, while it is a driver of population processes on the other hand ( Goodwin 2003 ).”
