Dispersal diversity may buffer species from local extinction
Original: Dispersal diversity buffers species vulnerability to local extinction
A new study reported in Nature finds that diversity in how species disperse can buffer populations against local extinction. The research suggests that variation in dispersal abilities within and among species helps maintain populations even when local conditions deteriorate. The findings are drawing attention among ecologists and conservation scientists assessing how biodiversity responds to habitat change.
Why now: New Nature research on what makes species resilient to local extinction is of interest to ecologists and conservation audiences.
