- Abstract
The article presents a study which aims to develop a regional conservation plans using population viability analysis and reserve selection algorithms. A regional conservation plan developed for mammalian carnivores in the Rocky Mountain region using reserve selection algorithm (SITES) and a spatially explicit population model (PATCH) is noted. The study found that SITES is poor at capturing localized rare species while PATCH identified linkage areas that were not chosen by SITES.
