| The opilionids are hygrophilous, have low vagility and are primarily nocturnal and cryptic. |
| Contraction of native old forest can limit occurrence of old forest associated species, especially species with limited vagility. |
| The richness of component communities is due, in part, to the relatively high degree of vagility associated with marine fishes, or perhaps to the vagility of the parasite's intermediate hosts. |
| Animals with little vagility and small population or individual size live in largely empty niche space. |
| Mites cannot colonise by walking from home to home, not just because of their low vagility, but because the outdoor environment is relatively hostile. |
| Additionally, woodland salamanders are territorial and have relatively low vagility, making it unlikely that they can successfully migrate to more favorable habitat when the surrounding forest is harvested. |
