The study areas and three definitions of geographical distance. Figure 1 (a): A includes Mianning-Yele, Jiulong-Wanba, and Shimian-Caoke. B includes Shimian-Liziping. C includes Yingjing-Shizi and Wawu mountains. D includes Yingjing-Xinmiao, Sanhe, and Jianzheng. The right corner shows the extant distribution of giant pandas across the entire country. Figure 1 (b): The Euclidean distance (EUD) between any two individuals. This is the shortest straight line separating two individuals. Figure 1 (c), (d): The least cost distance (LCD) between any two individuals, where cost is calculated as the sum of the values (bamboo or habitat suitability, respectively) of each pixel along the paths connecting individuals. Dark indicates the cost extent of the panda across the habitat.
