Methodological workflow scheme. Thin arrows represent inputs, whereas thick arrows outputs. We followed three steps: 1. Habitat selection modeling through PSF; 2. RSP calibration, creating 11 RSP connectivity surfaces and validating them to obtain the optimal θ. We used four different validation methods and obtained different optimal θs; 3. RSP between population nuclei. We lastly delineated corridors from the resulting internuclei connectivity surface of step 3. We compared the internuclei connectivity surfaces and corridors obtained through (a) RSP and the optimal θ obtained from every validation methodology considered, (b) RSP and the two extreme θ s (0 and 0.01), and (c) the two traditional connectivity approaches (least-cost path and circuit theory)
