  1. #Cities with extensive #waterways can exhibit higher levels of #urban #biodiversity; however, modified and slow-flowing #rivers and #canals can also release #methane and #carbon #dioxide, which support #globalwarming. Their importance as #flightcorridors for the urban #dispersal of #flying #animalspecies should not be overlooked. Pictured here: the #Spree River in #Berlin.

  2. RE: mastodon.social/@sflorg/115729

    This is an interesting article (linked below) about #biodiversity and #populationdynamics of #microscopic #seafloorfauna elements, and their presumed modes of #dispersal and ability to adapt to far away #ecologically different conditions. It focuses on the nematode genus #Halalaimus.
    I want to point out that even terrestrial nematodes are masters of interesting #dispersalstrategies, evolved based on their small sizes and limited distance #mobility.

  3. @PeerCommunityIn Interesting study. Connecting urban nature to the nature living around cities is important. “This should encourage urban planners to pay attention to the areas promoting dispersal movements between urban habitats (e.g.,UGS) and peri-urban habitats (e.g.,forests), rather than among urban habitats, when managing urban biodiversity.”
