Abstract

In a recent Forum paper, F. Jordán (2001) emphasized that adding functional considerations to our purely structural approach may limit the conditions of applicability and ultimately the results of the proposed method. In this rejoinder, we would like to stress that, although adding ‘function’ to ‘structure’ necessarily requires more refined tools for summarizing landscape connectivity, nonetheless graph-theoretical approaches remain a key for understanding the ecological functions of heterogeneous landscapes.
