Question

When preserving areas to act as reservoirs for biodiversity, corridors are important because: Select one: a. they decrease the rates of colonization. b. they increase interactions at the edges of ecosystems, thus increasing species diversity. c. they increase the rates of local extinctions. did. they decrease the rates of local extinctions. e. they increase gene flow between the areas they connect.

Answer 1

The answer is e. they increase gene flow between the areas they connect.

Step-by-step explanation:

When preserving areas to act as reservoirs for biodiversity, corridors are important because they cause dispersal and migration and increase the movement of genes from one area they come in contact with, to another; in so doing, they help to maintain gene flow and diversity, and movements between local populations.
