Question

What are the implications of the geographic range size and shape? Populations with a large geographic range are more vulnerable to disturbances. Populations restricted to small areas are less susceptible to disturbances. Populations with narrow ranges might be easily fragmented. Individuals from fragmented populations can easily disperse between habitat patches.
