Finding the next corridor: Interested in contributing to corridor research? Here’s the chance to get involved!
Paul Beier and Andrew Gregory, researchers at Northern Arizona University, have launched an effort to identify new sites where corridors could be implemented and studied. In their newest publication, they point out the need for a larger sample size of corridors that could help resolve current questions about how corridors work. They propose testing corridor effectiveness on a global scale, and are eliciting suggestions from the general public to find new potential corridor sites. This research could create a larger system of corridors throughout the world and provide more evidence of how corridors and connectivity may support species movement. A more detailed explanation of their work can be found at www.docorridorswork.org.
