Gray Fox least-cost corridors for NSNF Connectivity - CDFW [ds1013]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The northern Sierra Nevada foothills wildlife connectivity project modeled wildlife corridors for 9 focal species between 238 landscape blocks within the northern Sierra Nevada foothills and neighboring ecoregions. We followed the least-cost corridor techniques described by Beier et al. (2007). This analysis identified the least-cost corridor, or the best potential route for each species, between neighboring landscape blocks. The data needed for a least-cost corridor analysis are a resistance raster and landscape blocks. The resistance raster is the inverse of the species distribution model (SDM) output (i.e., Maxent or BioView habitat models, which rank habitat suitability across the landscape from 0-100 for each species). We identified habitat patches for each focal species within each landscape block, and connected those habitat patches using the least-cost corridor models. The least-cost corridor model does not identify barriers, risk and dispersal. We removed urban areas and areas of unsuitable/non-restorable habitat from the corridors and then inspected the corridor to make sure they were continuous. We examined the amount of predicted suitable habitat in each corridor, and measured the distance between habitat patches within each corridor to make sure it was within the maximum dispersal distance for that focal species. If the corridors did not meet these rules then habitat patches on the border of the corridor were added to meet the selection requirements.

NSNF-Landscape Blocks - CDFW [ds1004]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The northern Sierra Nevada foothills (NSNF) wildlife connectivity project modeled connectivity by identifying corridors for potential wildlife movement between habitat areas called landscape blocks. Our landscape blocks, which may be any shape, were identified in June 2013 based on protected lands including: 1) lands managed primarily for biodiversity conservation (based on USGS GAP Analysis conservation status designations GAP 1 and 2); 2) mixed use public lands (USGS GAP 3) that intersect with Large Intact Blocks identified by the California Essential Habitat Connectivity project (i.e., areas of high ecological integrity that are &gt;10,000 acres in size); and, 3) lands under conservation easement. Landscape blocks included all land parcels 100 acres or larger that met our conservation status criteria. A one kilometer buffer was added to all land parcels to form blocks of land. We split our landscape blocks by major rivers and roads to identify barriers within blocks. For more information see the project report at [https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=85358].</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Transect Survey - 2016 - Terrestrial Species Stressor Monitoring [ds2833]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Visual Encounter Transect Surveys of reptiles, birds, and other vertebrate wildlife taxa were conducted at study sites in the Great Valley and Mojave Desert in 2016. A total of 1,856 transect surveys (GV: 517, MD: 1339) at 321 study sites (GV: 91, MD: 230) were conducted between March and July 2016. For each survey, observers walked two 200-meter transects and recorded counts of and distances to all wildlife observed. The two transects are laid out as a cross intersecting at a right angle, with this intersection occurring at survey site center. The exact orientation of the cross and the sinuosity of transects was left to the discretion of the surveyor(s) to optimize sampling of the site-designated lifeform and to facilitate ease of travel (e.g., barriers or steep slopes). In the case of a riparian lifeform site, one transect was aligned along or near the stream course, and the second along the gradient extending to either side of the stream course. In the case of a guzzler or wetland, transects were aligned along approximately perpendicular sides. A laser rangefinder was used to accurately measure the perpendicular distance from the transect to the location of each wildlife group at the instance of its initial observation. The crew also noted </SPAN><SPAN>all wildlife signs (tracks, scat, burrows, nests) observed; in particular, every scat group within a 1-m swath on either side of the transect was</SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN>noted and identified by species whenever possible. All scats and tracks were removed from the swath so that return visits encountered fresh sign.</SPAN><SPAN>Individual surveys focused on either reptiles and amphibians, or on birds and scat, but observations from all surveys were combined into this dataset. These data were used for distance sampling methods to estimate abundance. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
