	Australasia ecozone
		The Australasian ecozone is Australia, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia east of Java, Bali and Borneo.
		The division from the Indomalayan ecozone is the Wallace Line, named after the naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace who identified the differences between the islands either side of the line.
		From a biological point of view, Australasia is a distinct region with a common evolutionary history and a great many unique plants and animals, some of them common to the entire area, others specific to particular parts but sharing a common ancestory.

	Ecozone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ecozones are global divisions which have their own characteristic interplay of climatic factors, morphodynamics, soil-forming processes, living conditions for plants and animals, and production potentials for agriculture and forestry.
		A few of the ecozones are subdivided into comparatively independent subregions or ecoregions, such as the Polar subpolar zone, which is divided into the glacier-covered regions (ice deserts), the frost debris regions and the tundras.
		These ecozones occur in bands, often fragmentated because of the distribution of the continents and oceans, from the poles to the equator.

	Oceania ecozone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ecozone includes the Pacific Ocean islands of Micronesia, the Fijian Islands, and most of Polynesia (with the exception of New Zealand).
		Birds are also an important means of dispersal; some plants produce sticky seeds that are carried on the feet or feathers of birds, and many plants produce fruits filled with seeds that can pass through the digestive tracts of birds.
		Certain types of animals that are ecologically important on the continental ecozones, like large land predators and grazing mammals, were entirely absent from the islands of Oceania until humans brought them.

		The term is unpopular in New Zealand because it is seen to emphasize Australia and seemingly implies the region is part of Asia; instead, the term Oceania is preferred, although this has a rather different meaning, and Australia is often thought of as not being part of Oceania by New Zealanders.

		The tropical moist forests of Indomalaya are dominated by trees of the dipterocarp family (Dipterocarpaceae).
		While the region has much in common botanically, they differ greatly in land animal species; Sundaland shares its fauna with mainland Asia, while the islands east of the Wallace line either lack land mammals, or are home to a land fauna derived from Australia, which includes marsupial mammals and ratite birds.
		One order of mammals, the colugos (Dermoptera), is endemic to the ecozone, as are families Tupaiidae (tree shrews) and Hylobatidae (gibbons).
