Pumped to share our latest publication @SciReports Identifying structural #connectivity priorities in eastern Paraguay’s fragmented Atlantic Forest @ChicagoState @FieldMuseum @RhodesCollege @TexasTech researchgate.net/publication/35…

Less than one-third of the region is forested, and the remaining forest largely consists of isolated remnants with
potentially disrupted connectivity for forest fauna.

We used a graph theory approach to identify those
forest remnants that are important in maintaining landscape structural connectivity for mammals
in this fragmented forest.

We quantified structural connectivity for forest remnants over the period 2000–2019 at three levels: the entire network of Atlantic Forest remnants in eastern Paraguay.

We identified forest remnants that serve as important structural connectivity roles as stepping stones, hubs, or articulation points and that should be prioritized for connectivity conservation.

Structural connectivity was constrained for organisms incapable of travelling at least 9–12 k.
