ex1124: Natal Dispersal Distances of Mammals
Description
An assessment of the factors affecting dispersal distances is
important for understanding population spread, recolonization and gene
flow which are central issues for conservation of many vertebrate
species. Researchers gathered data on body weight, diet type and
maximum natal dispersal distance for various animals.source
