Predicted wildlife corridors in the Appalachians of southern Quebec based on GIS modeling of landscape connectivity, habitat validation on the ground, and mammal tracking. Large unfragmented forest blocks of more than 10 km2 are shown in dark green. Following preliminary results from the multivariate analysis by Salvant (2017), several sections of Highway 10 East were selected to monitor human and mammal activity at a total of nine suitable multi-use underpasses (i.e., sites 1–9, although site 3 was not considered in this paper due to time constraints for data analysis). Adapted from Rapport sur l’identification des corridors fauniques de part et d’autre de l’autoroute 10 - Phase II (Daguet 2015).
