  Quantum teleportation in the presence of noisy channels acting on a bipartite
resource state is considered. We consider a family of generalized noisy
channels that continuously connect the amplitude damping and the dephasing
channels, encompassing a wide family of in-between scenarios, to delve into the
relation between the teleportation success and the amount of 3- and 4-partite
entanglement (distributed among the qubits of the resource state and those
representing local environments) generated during the evolution. Our analysis
reveals that for a fixed entanglement of the resource state, the channels that
better protect the teleportation fidelity against the detrimental effects of
noise are those that generate higher amounts of (GHZ-type) multipartite
entanglement. This suggests that the dynamically induced multipartite
correlations may serve as an additional resource for teleportation, and throws
light into the characterization of processes, and of the type of induced
entanglement, according to their capability of assisting the protocol.
