摘要: Fragmentation and habitat loss pose major threats to global biodiversity. Especially forest dwelling species with small ranges high specialisation are affected by ongoing land use change. Building projects for infrastructural purposes, expanding settlements, extensive agricultural areas assumed have a impact on these species. The European Habitat’s Directive aims conserve restore networks lower impacts. We propose that the idea of securing protected should be incorporated within large scale landscape planning e.g. modelling improving corridors umbrella Within Danish-German project we developed model demonstrating potential connecting Muscardinus avellanarius, specialised rodent low dispersal ability. used presence data eco-geographical variables find based time-efficient procedure which may applied also in other future planning. suitability shows hazel dormouse occupies narrow niche highly suitable habitats comprising edge habitats. It indicates preference patches, linear structures mentioned Along connectivity diversity is factor predicting presence. For conservation management, calculated highlight sections missing connections. This allowed us accentuate regions management interest. results represent foundation not only this cross-border project, but long-term federal-state level.
