Now I’m about to bring up the idea of “units” but don’t mistake that for thinking I’m in favor of chopping the state up because I believe we need just the opposite…………But from a standpoint of studying what is happening and even monitoring……the way populations should likley be divided up and viewed should first start by subdividing the state into units separated by the major interstates…….from there you would further subdivide each section again divided by major highways and rivers inside of that unit…..and from there would subdivide it again within that unit by any major habitat fragmentation breaks that exist…….Sampling those subsets would most accurately “hone in” on what is occurring…….keeping in mind that if you sample a fringe area you are likely going to show variance……Samples should be taken toward the center of the isolated population to get the most accurate information.
