Purpose
To identify appropriate landscapes needed for a subsequent proposal to the National Science Foundation and other funders to determine the critical factors associated with successful wildlife corridors, including ratio of corridor width-to-length, severity of constrictions within a corridor, and land uses adjacent to the corridor. Funding will be used to solicit nominations for appropriate landscapes, confirm which landscapes have appropriate configurations and focal species, and develop a proposal for a full-scale research project involving at least 50 replicate landscapes.
