There are a lot of creatures who cannot cross a road. Everything from slugs, soil bacteria, to various plants who only propagate by roots.
I do wonder how many of those creatures we have already wiped out, or have already doomed by slicing their populations up so small there is insufficient genetic diversity.
- chrisco255 3y agoHow did these species cross natural gaps in terrain in the first place (ie rivers, valleys, ridges, fire damaged forests / grasslands, boulders, etc)?
- londons_explore 3y agoMany natural barriers one can walk around the end of. And other natural barriers might only be temporary (eg. rivers move, fire damaged areas regrow). But some natural barriers (eg. the ocean) are pretty impenetrable, and those have really shaped evolution (eg. kangaroos in australia).
