Patterns of Isolation by Resistance for a Network of Nature Parks (Left Map; Dark Green) Distributed across an Urban/Suburban Landscape (Light Green Matrix), and Consequences for Isolation by Resistance (Right Panel; Cool Colors = High Resistance).

The circuit map was generated by Circuitscape and assumes that only natural areas have low resistance to dispersal. Circuit maps are used to test the hypothesis that they predict dispersal patterns by comparing them with genetic distance matrices among sample locations.
