Data generated from: Functional connectivity of the world's protected areas

<p>Here, we provide&nbsp;the two primary global connectivity datasets&nbsp;generated in the study titled &quot;Functional connectivity of the world&#39;s protected areas&quot;, including&nbsp;the protected area isolation (PAI) metric for all included protected areas&nbsp;(i.e., effective resistance), provided as a csv file,&nbsp;and the map of global mammal movement probability (i.e., electrical current density), provided as a tif. We also include the nationally aggregated PAI values in National_PAI.csv. National PAI represents the median PAI value&nbsp;for each country, after excluding values equal to&nbsp;-1.</p> <p>Generation of these datasets relied on the following three external data sources:</p> <p>- Observed mammal movement data (0.95 quantile displacement distances over 10-days), predictor variables&nbsp;and the linear mixed effects model presented in: M. A. Tucker <em>et al.</em>, <em>Science</em>. <strong>359</strong>, 466&ndash;469 (2018). &nbsp;</p> <p>- The 2009 Global Human Footprint map presented in: O. Venter <em>et al.</em>, <em>Nat. Communications.</em> <strong>7</strong>, 1&ndash;11 (2016).&nbsp;</p> <p>- The May 2020&nbsp;and April 2018 versions of the World Database on Protected Areas, found at: UNEP-WCMC and IUCN, Protected Planet: the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA), Cambridge, UK, (available at www.protectedplanet.com).&nbsp;</p> <p>Please read the Readme.txt for file details and&nbsp;cite the following paper if you use these data: Brennan, A., R. Naidoo, L. Greenstreet, Z. Mehrabi, N. Ramankutty and C. Kremen. Functional connectivity of the world&#39;s protected areas. Science (2022).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
