Conservation Biology
Connectivity refers to the degree to which different habitats and populations are linked, allowing for movement, gene flow, and interactions among species. This concept is crucial in understanding how organisms disperse between habitat patches, enhancing biodiversity and resilience in ecosystems. Effective connectivity can influence metapopulation dynamics, impact the success of protected areas, and inform strategies for ecological restoration efforts.
