Beneficial Plant 'Spillover' Effect Seen From Landscape Corridors
ScienceDaily (May 22, 2009) — Research by a North Carolina State University biologist and colleagues shows that using landscape corridors, the "superhighways" that connect isolated patches of habitat, to protect certain plants has a large "spillover" effect that increases the number of plant species outside the conservation area.

This is along the lines of what I've been saying forever it seems. Corridors. I believe corridors will be how we're going to make it. When my yard connects to a neighbor who is also planting natives, the corridor is extended that much farther. If we can connect to yet another neighbor planting natives, we extend to corridor even farther. I am a major proponent of corridors.
