Abstract

All habitat suitability, use, movement, and landscape genetic analyses were conducted in R [1] across the whole of San Diego County. We created these initial models using relevant environmental variables for habitat use and movement for all focal species (Table S1) using an ecological neighborhood approach. To select the most appropriate scale for each variable, we used the smoothie package (v 1.0-1, [2]) to apply a Gaussian smooth to each variable at a variety of biologically-relevant spatial scales for each species based on movement and home range information for each species. We tested scales ranging from 30 m to 180 m for California mouse and woodrat, 30 m to 360 m for wrentit, 30 m to 2,160 m for mule deer, 30 m to 2,000 m for bobcat, and 30 m to 10,000 m for puma.
