4. Discussion
Among all the model’s RF and GLM represented the highest and lowest
performance in predicting habitat suitability for both species
respectively. Besides, we used a combination of ensemble modeling and
landscape connectivity analysis to identify core habitat patches and
connectivity corridors for grey wolf and golden jackal. Secondly, we
assessed the extent and percent of core habitats covered by current
conservation networks. Finally, we used spatial randomization of vehicle
collision locations to test the predictive ability of resistant kernel
and factorial least-cost path predictions of movement.
