ZOO 102 Animal Distribution and Biodiversity Conservation in Nigeria Objective Question

Question

Which of the following serves as a functional barrier even if two habitats are physically connected?
Options
A Migratory corridors
B Riparian zones
C Unsuitable terrain
Correct Answer
D High-quality breeding sites
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Unsuitable terrain (e.g., a desert between two forests) acts as a barrier because species cannot survive long enough to cross it. Corridors and riparian zones actually aid movement.

Hint

Consider 'gaps' in the landscape that a species cannot utilize.
