Using movement to inform conservation corridor design for Mojave desert tortoise.

Background: Preserving corridors for movement and gene flow among populations can assist in the recovery of threatened and endangered species. As human activity continues to fragment habitats, characterizing natural corridors is important in establishing and maintaining connectivity corridors within the anthropogenic development matrix. The Mojave desert tortoise () is a threatened species occupying a variety of habitats in the Mojave and Colorado Deserts.
