Translocation experiments, in which researchers displace animals and then
monitor their movements to return home, are commonly used as tools to assess functional
connectivity of fragmented landscapes. Such experiments are purported to have important
advantages of being time efficient and of standardizing ‘‘motivation’’ to move across
individuals. Yet, we lack...

Human activities have altered Earth’s ecosystems. Most biomes have experienced a 20-50% conversion to human use. Loss of habitat has obvious effects on the persistence of species. Fragmentation, however, may also negatively affect biodiversity for those species that exhibit behavioral responses to changes in habitat configuration. Such behavioral changes include...
