Vagrants" appear outside the limits of this property, whose size is increased by "jumps" and diffusion, both mechanisms of dispersal.
Jablonski argued that this property has an emergent effect on species-level fitness by reducing speciation and extinction rates; he drew that conclusion because this property is much larger on average among planktotrophs than direct-developing larvae. During the Pliocene, this property's size increased among camels via a "secular" process. It's not body or limb size, but this property is larger for species at higher latitudes according to Rapoport's rule. The size of this property can be constrained by filters or the low probability of success on (*) sweepstakes routes. "Vagrants" appear outside the limits of this property, whose size is increased by "jumps" and diffusion, both mechanisms of dispersal. It is small for endemic species. For 10 points, name this geographical extent of the area inhabited by a species.
