Ecological corridors (ECor): a distributed population model with gender specificity

Export citation

To counteract the effect of habitat fragmentation, the concept of restoring ecological corridors is popular in conservation circles. The expected effectiveness of such corridors depends strongly on the dispersal characteristics, which for species such as orangutan are strongly dependent on gender. A distributed population model allows ex ante impact predictions of various corridor designs.
