Maps and analyses of environmental suitability and potential range expansion of the Eurasian beaver in Italy

Maps of environmental suitability, connectivity, and potential human-beaver conflicts, and tutorial to run Circuitscape 4.0 from R with customized functions, from the article "Environmental suitability and potential range expansion of the Eurasian beaver in Italy" by Mattia Falaschi, Gentile Francesco Ficetola, Andrea Viviano, Giuseppe Mazza, Emiliano Mori.<br>Description of the dataset:<br>"Beaver maps.zip" contains maps of (1) environmental suitability for Eurasian beaver in Europe, (2) connectivity for Eurasian beaver in Italy, and (3) areas of potential human-beaver conflicts in Italy. Additionally, a QGIS project showing these maps as presented in the article is included.<br>"Circuitscape_tutorial.zip" contains two R scripts and the data needed to run the connectivity model with Circuitscape. "Circuitsape from R - tutorial with beavers in Italy.R" is the actual tutorial script that can be used to run Circuitscape 4.0 from R using customized functions. "CS_functions_v1.1.R" contains the R functions used in the former script tu call Circuitscape 4.0 from R.
