In the article, Examining local and regional ecological connectivity throughout North America (Belote et al. 2022), we used the global human modification data of Theobald et al. (2020) to create resistance surfaces for evaluating omnidirectional connectivity at multiple scales. Theobald et al. (2020) assessed human modification for different years including 1990, 2000, 2010, 2015, and 2017. The datasets for years 1990–2015 are intended to be used for change analysis, as they contain only stressors for which temporally varying data were available. Because our original intent was to evaluate change in omnidirectional connectivity, we used the 2015 data in our assessment, which does not include all the stressors incorporated into the 2017 version. In our methods section, we wrote that the 2015 map of human modification is a “global composite of variables that represent human impacts to natural ecosystem structure and processes such as roads and transmission lines, modified land cover…” It was inaccurate to describe the 2015 version of human modification as including “transmission lines.” We also note that we aggregated the 300-m human modification to 1-km using bilinear interpolation. We re-ran all the analyses using the 2017 version of human modification and have made these outputs publicly available (https://zenodo.org/record/7058199#.Y645C3bMKHs). The revised analysis for 2017 is very similar to the results from the original connectivity published in Belote et al. (2022) based on the 2015 (pairwise comparisons between output from different years within moving window size and resistance transformations were highly correlated). Therefore, the conclusions from the paper have not changed. We suggest users consider making use of the connectivity output dataset for 2017.
