There is much excellent literature on corridor design for various taxa. Good
places to start might be
Machtans, C.S., M. Villard and S.J. Hannon. 1996. Use of riparian
buffer strips as movement corridors by forest birds. Conservation Biology 10:
1366-1379.
Naiman, R.J. and K.H. Rogers. 1997. Large animals and system-level
characteristics in river corridors: Implications for river management.
Bioscience 47: 521-529.
Taylor, P.D., L. Fahrig, K. Henein and G. Merriam. 1993. Connectivity
is a vital element of landscape structure. Oikos 68: 571-573.
Good luck,

Subject: [ECOLOG-L] designing for migration routes
Hi,
I have a grad student in China at the moment looking at ways of designing
wildlife corridors through a national park. She has now realized she needs to
find some way of designing migration corridors based upon the steep topography
in the park. Does anyone have some good sources of information that relate
migration corridors with topography?
Many thanks.
Andy Cole
