A blueprint for securing Brazil's marine biodiversity and supporting the achievement of global conservation goals (2020, methodology): “Thus, we calculated the individual reef-based habitat contribution for connectivity (ΔPC) using an individual habitat removal experiment (Saura & Pascual-Hortal, 2007).”
Statistical approaches in landscape genetics: an evaluation of methods for linking landscape and genetic data (2009, background): “Thus, connectivity indices may not be appropriate and effective for all data sets, but certainly have potential for landscape genetics, because they can include additional information such as patch or population sizes, habitat quality or carrying capacities (Saura and Pascual-Hortal 2007).”
Connectivity for conservation: a framework to classify network measures. (2011, methodology): “At its base, the area of connected habitat considers the area inside a patch of habitat as a space where connectivity occurs in addition to inter-patch movements (Hanski 1999a, Pascual-Hortal and Saura 2006).”
The flickering connectivity system of the north Andean páramos (2019, methodology): “The metric assigns a value to each páramo island representing its contribution in maintaining the overall connectivity of the páramo biome (Saura & Pascual-Hortal, 2007; Saura et al., 2011).”
Construction and optimization of an ecological network based on morphological spatial pattern analysis and circuit theory (2020, methodology): “Therefore, the scale of the cell size of 30 m 9 30 m preserved the main landscape elements of the study area to meet the data accuracy requirements for the research (Pascual-Hortal and Saura 2007).”
Ranking individual habitat patches as connectivity providers: Integrating network analysis and patch removal experiments (2010, background): “connectivity (PC) (Saura and Pascual-Hortal, 2007) and integral index of connectivity (IIC) (Pascual-Hortal and Saura, 2006), and the network centrality metric betweenness centrality (BC) (Freeman, 1977; Bodin and Norberg, 2007).”
