Relative performance of linkage designs with respect to focal species.

Footnotes in the last 2 columns indicate the metrics that differed most between the two types of linkage designs.
1For this species-landscape combination, elevation and topographic position (factors in the land facet models) had a combined weight >50% in the focal species model.
2The single 26-km gap between modeled breeding patches in the focal species design was much worse than the 2 gaps of 8.6 and 1.9 km in the land facets design (Table 3).
3The resistance profile was much lower in the land facets design (Figure 5A).
4The maximum distance between breeding patches was 23% shorter in the land facets design (Table 3), but this was offset by the greater combined length of the two gaps and their higher resistance profiles in the land facets design.
5Lengths of largest gaps between modeled breeding patches were much shorter in the land facets design (Table 3).
6Resistance profiles were lower in the land facets design than in the focal species design.
7Lengths of largest gaps between modeled breeding patches were shorter in the focal species design (Table 3).
