On the use of connectivity measures in spatial ecology. A reply

P 0 Opinion is intended to facilitate communication between reader and author and reader and I reader. Comments, viewpoints or suggestions arising from published papers are welcome. N 1 s T Discussion and debate about important issues in ecology, e.g. theory or terminology, may I I also be included. Contributions should be as precise as possible and references should be P 0 kept to a minimum. A summary is not required. o N
