Connectivity in ecosystems refers to the degree to which landscapes or seascapes allow species to move freely and ecological processes to function unimpeded. It’s crucial for maintaining biodiversity and countering the negative impacts of fragmentation. When habitats are fragmented (broken into smaller patches), maintaining or restoring connectivity becomes essential. For instance, scattered trees, roadside corridors, and small patches of habitat play a role in supporting connectivity within fragmented landscapes. [Tiang, D.C.F., Morris, A., Bell, M. et al.
