nd the Braulio Carrillo National Park in Costa Rica are an example of use of island biogeography theory in guiding conservation. poor planning in conservation efforts. use of corridor theory in guiding conservation. use of metapopulation dynamics in guiding conservation.
Conservation corridors, also known as green corridors, are small fragments of wildlife habitat that are installed to connect fragmented habitats. It is believed that green corridors can maintain healthy genetic diversity levels by connecting habitat patches that otherwise would be isolated (i.e., these corridors increase gene flow between isolated populations). Thus, green corridors are used to alleviate the harmful effects of habitat fragmentation on population viability. Species that make use of green corridors can be classified into passage users, which occupy corridors during brief periods of time, and corridor dwellers, which occupy corridors during long periods (even all life).
