gflow: software for modelling circuit theory‐based connectivity at any scale

Abstract

Summary: Increasing habitat connectivity is important for mitigating the effects of climate change, landscape fragmentation and habitat loss for biodiversity conservation. However, modelling connectivity at the relevant scales over which these threats occur has been limited by computational requirements. Here, we introduce the open‐source software gflow, which massively parallelizes the computation of circuit theory‐based connectivity. The software is developed for high‐performance computing, but scales to consumer‐grade desktop computers running modern Linux or Mac OS X operating systems. We report high computational efficiency representing a 173× speedup over existing software using high‐performance computing and a 8·4× speedup using a desktop computer while drastically reducing memory requirements. gflow allows large‐extent and high‐resolution connectivity problems to be calculated over many iterations and at multiple scales. We envision gflow being immediately useful for large‐landscape efforts, including climate‐driven animal range shifts, multitaxa connectivity, and for the many developing use‐cases of circuit theory‐based connectivity.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Leonard et al. built the gflow software by modifying Circuitscape so that it could run on high performance cluster computers, but this version is out of reach for many modelers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
