Habitat conversion in production landscapes is among the greatest threats to biodiversity, not least because it can disrupt animal movement. Using the movement ecology framework, we review animal movement in production landscapes, including areas managed for agriculture and forestry. We consider internal and external drivers of altered animal movement and how this affects navigation and motion capacities and population dynamics. Conventional management approaches in fragmented landscapes focus on promoting connectivity using structural changes in the landscape. However, a movement ecology perspective emphasizes that manipulating the internal motivations or navigation capacity of animals represents untapped opportunities to improve movement and the effectiveness of structural connectivity investments. Integrating movement and landscape ecology opens new opportunities for conservation management in production landscapes.
生产景观中的生境转换是对生物多样性的最大威胁之一，尤其是因为它会破坏动物的迁移。本文运用动物运动生态学框架，综述了生产景观中的动物运动，包括管理农业和林业的区域。我们考虑了改变动物运动的内部和外部驱动因素，以及这如何影响导航和运动能力以及种群动态。在破碎化景观中，传统的管理方法侧重于通过景观结构的变化来促进连通性。然而，动物运动生态学的观点强调，操纵动物的内部动机或导航能力代表了改善运动和结构连通性投资效果的未开发机会。将运动和景观生态学相结合，为生产景观中的保护管理开辟了新的机会。
