Bonjour, je pense à "diversité" ou "répartition" dans ce contexte...

Endangered wildlife increasingly inhabit human-dominated landscapes outside protected areas. Large-bodied mammals require large spaces, and their ranging may be especially impacted by landscape modifications including farming, road development, and urbanisation. We studied the Wagaisa community of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in Uganda, which inhabit a landscape characterised by high human population density, widespread deforestation, and rapid agricultural and infrastructural development. We aimed to assess whether this dynamic, fragmented environment constrains the chimpanzees’ ranging, and to identify critical habitat patches to aid their conservation.

distribution / répartition


Explanation:
Il semble que l’on rencontre les 2 termes (voir article sur la zoogéographie), mais que le terme distribution soit plus employé dans les articles scientifiques (voir second lien).
