species dispersal

Species dispersal refers to the movement of individuals or groups from their original habitat to new areas, helping them find resources, escape threats, or expand their range. This process can occur through various means such as animals walking or flying, seeds carried by wind or animals, or water currents transporting aquatic organisms. Dispersal influences how species spread, establish, and adapt to different environments, playing a vital role in ecological balance and evolution. It helps maintain genetic diversity and supports population growth, contributing to the resilience of species in changing environments.
