This dataset represents the connections between each nearby pair of 2080 cores for American woodcock. It is intended to highlight areas important for connecting cores and to visually represent the connections among refugia cores.

For 7 species: American woodcock (amwo), Bicknell's thrush (bith), Blackburnian warbler (blbw), Box turtle (teca), Cerulean warbler (cerw), Moose (moose), and Saltmarsh sparrow (sals) we provide five distinct datasets. Species codes (in parenthesis) are used in file names and represented by "[species]" below. 1. A set of conservation cores that represent areas of high local, relative value to the species either in the present, the future, or both: [species]_allcores.shp 2. Conductance among the present condition cores: [species]_conduct.tif 3. Conductance among the future cores: [species]_conduct_futr.tif 4. The landscape capability of the species in 2020 (an input dataset to this analysis): [species]_LC_2020_v5.1.tif...

We identified a set of cores for each species that include areas of high relative value to the species either in the present, the future, or both. We assessed and mapped the connections between each nearby pair of cores (both in the future and present) and used the pairwise connectivities to assemble a graph of connections and to score each core’s connectivity in the present and future. Finally, we created an overall score that combines the landscape capability value, the climate refugia value, and the connectivity of each core which we think is a good starting point for conservation of each species. In general we found that the highest habitat values, connectivity, and scores were concentrated both towards the...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
