**Whatever tool you use,** connectivity modeling involves a great deal of research, data compilation, GIS analyses, and careful interpretation of results. Defining areas to connect, parameterizing resistance models, and other modeling decisions you will need to make are not trivial. Before diving in, we strongly recommend that users first acquaint themselves with the process and challenges of connectivity modeling by consulting published resources. Good places to start include overviews on the [Corridor Design](http://www.corridordesign.org/) and [Connecting Landscapes](http://connectinglandscapes.org/) websites.
