Via Science Alert:
"Australian scientists have announced a major new finding that helps explain how natural systems like coral reefs and forests maintain the richness of their mix of species."
Their study also illustrates the importance of biological corridors:
"Corals and rainforests spread their offspring across surrounding fragments of available habitat. By dispersing offspring unevenly – on winds, current or carried by other creatures – across patchworks of reefs or forest fragments, the richness of biodiversity is perpetuated."
Nicaragua-based Paso Pacifico** has been restoring wildlife habitat and conserving biological corridors for five years. If you're interested in biodiversity, you may want to pay attention to their work.
