Mean resistance and longest high-resistance segments of resistance profiles for land facets under the two types of linkage designs.

Resistance was calculated as Mahalanobis distance (minimum 0, no theoretical maximum) for land facets, and as the complement of Shannon's evenness (0 to 1) for land facet diversity.1Although the mean resistance in the focal species design was lower than in the land facets design, the resistance profiles were nearly identical except for an additional 7 km segment of low resistance in the focal species profile that reduced its mean value. This was the only pair of profiles where a profile pattern counteracted a large difference in mean resistance.
