Mammal Range Expansion

Mammals are a group of animals that have adapted to most habitats on Earth. Mammal range expansion is the process of expanding the geographic range of a species or group of species. This can occur as a result of many factors, including change in climate, habitat fragmentation, or human-inducedIntroducedspecies dispersal. Range expansion has implications for species conservation and can impact the interactions between native and non-native species. As mammals expand their ranges, they can have the potential to alter whole ecosystems. Monitoring trends in range expansion is critical for understanding how climate change affects species’ ranges and for predicting the effects of future climate change.
