dispersal theory

Dispersal theory explores how organisms, ideas, or materials spread from one location to others over time. In ecology, it refers to the movement of species away from their origin to new habitats, helping maintain biodiversity. In cultural contexts, it can describe how innovations or traditions move through communities. Understanding dispersal allows us to see how connections are formed, whether in nature or society, influencing ecosystems, populations, and cultural exchanges. Ultimately, it highlights the importance of connectivity and adaptation in both living organisms and human interactions.
