Species range refers to the geographical area where a particular species can be found, influenced by factors such as climate, habitat availability, and ecological interactions. Understanding species range is crucial for conservation efforts, predicting the impacts of climate change, and managing biodiversity.
Dispersal limitations refer to the constraints on the ability of species to expand their geographic range due to barriers or insufficient dispersal mechanisms. These limitations play a crucial role in shaping biodiversity patterns and can affect species' responses to environmental changes, such as climate change or habitat fragmentation.
