Graphab: an application for modeling and managing ecological habitat networks
Résumé
Landscape graphs are increasingly used in ecology, conservation, and landscape planning for modeling habitat connectivity of wildlife species. We present here the follow-up of Graphab, a software application for modeling habitat networks. This application has been recently enhanced by advanced functions of spatial analysis, command-line facilities, and connections with other software applications. It has been used in many studies, first in ecological studies for analyzing the role of landscape connectivity on biological responses measured in the field, second for supporting decisions concerning biodiversity preservation. Future improvements could be made to make the links more realistic with respect to ecological processes.
