Uncertainties in the identification of potential dispersal corridors: the importance of behaviour, sex, and algorithm

Modelling landscape connectivity represents one of the central challenges for conservation of natural resources,
especially in human dominated landscapes. Many different methods have been developed to this effect, but their
assumptions and limitations have been largely ignored. Using high resolution GPS tracking data from brown bears
(Ursus arctos) in central Italy, we investigated the influence of behavioural state (movement vs other behaviours), sex,
