Check out work on graph theory and spotted owl habitat by Tim Keitt
from the SFI preprint archive circa 1996, also. The basic idea was to
figure out the most economical way to construct the giant component of
a graph connecting all the habitat zones of the owl by setting aside
the most critical pieces of habitat linking the graph.
