SCIENCE ADVANCES, 6(9).
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Conservation of Natural Resources; Fishes / physiology; Models, Biological; Wetlands
TL;DR:
Findings show that movement behavior at the scale of the individual can have crucial repercussions for the functioning of an entire ecosystem, proving an important challenge to the species-centric definition of biodiversity if the conservation and management of ecosystem function is a primary goal.
