	Biogeography
		Biogeography studies all aspects of the adaptations of an organism to its ENVIRONMENT, considering systematically the origins, migrations and associations of living things.
		Ecology is subdivided into 3 fields of study: autecology (relations of individual species or populations to their milieu), synecology (composition of living communities) and dynecology (processes of change in related communities).
		Therefore, in its widest compass, biogeography concerns itself with the EVOLUTION of species, with changes in their ranges and with their extinctions.

	JSTOR: Journal of Biogeography
		The subjects of biogeography, ecology and biodiversity are now of truly global importance.
		Recognizing this increased significance, the scope of the Journal of Biogeography and its sister publications, Global Ecology and Biogeography and Diversity and Distributions, continue to be developed under the guidance of Dr Robert Whittaker and Dr David Richardson respectively, acting as a team with Professor Philip Stott, the Editor of Journal of Biogeography.
		All three journals have wide coverage–from 'enhanced global warming' to the distribution of gadoid fishes, from invertebrate diversity in tropical rain forests to individualist species responses–so that all the key biogeographical and ecological questions of the day may be addressed.

	Biogeography Summary
		Biogeography is the study of the spatial distribution of plants and animals, both today and in the past.
		Prior to the publication of The Theory of Island Biogeography by Robert MacArthur and E.O. Wilson in 1967 (which expanded their 1963 paper on the same topic) the field of biogeography was seen as a primarily historical one, and as such the field was seen as a purely descriptive one.
		Biogeography is a synthetic science, related to geography, biology, soil science, geology, climatology, ecology and evolution.

	Biogeography - ArticleWorld (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Biogeography is a science dealing with the study of the distribution of organisms and the processes that cause the patterns of distribution.
		Biogeography is a comparative and observational science that formulates theories based on patterns and tests these by observation of natural situations.
		Biogeography dates back a long way and includes studies conducted in the 1700's by Linnaeus and in the 1800's by Wallace and Darwin, where they made observations on the distribution of organisms.

	Biogeography of Therevids
		Biogeography deals with the distribution of taxa around the planet in space and time, and the factors influencing this distribution.
		Combining the evidence from biogeography and that of genetic relationships among taxa through phylogenetic studies of their "family tree," scientists are able to make hypotheses about the when, how, and why taxonomic groups are distributed as we find them today or in the fossil record.

	Biogeography \| Macmillan Animal Sciences
		Biogeography is the study of why animal species (and also plants) live in different regions on Earth.
		Biogeography can be broken down into historical biogeography, which studies the past history and evolution of a species, and ecological biogeography, which studies the environment of a species.
		Historical biogeography is the study of how animals that are present in a geographical region today relate to the animals that lived there in the past.

		Biogeography transcends classical subject areas, it involves a range of scientific disciplines that includes geography, geology and biology.
		Jorge Crisci so aptly stated in his 2001 keynote paper in the Journal of Biogeography, the study of biogeography is in the midst of an extraordinary revolution.
		Crisci synthesized biogeographic theory, placed the science of biogeography in a historical context, and stressed the importance of uniting macroevolution and microevolution in biogeography and systematics.

		The main contribution of the biogeography research project will be to provide an overview of the spatial relationships of Eastern Arc taxa; results that will have temporal implications, and bridge research focused on the past, the present and the future.
		Specifically, the biogeography research project will establish phytogeographical patterns using different vegetation classifications and spatial scales that will be analysed with respect to signal coherence and divergence, their present-day environmental correlates, and the imprint of the past they carry.

	SparkNotes: Evidence for Evolution: Biogeography
		The field of biogeography is concerned with the distribution of species in relation both to geography and to other species.
		Biogeography comprises two disciplines: historical biogeography, which is concerned with the origins and evolutionary histories of species on a long time scale, and ecological biogeography, which deals with the current interactions of species with their environments and each other on a much shorter time scale.
		Much of ecological biogeography is concerned with species richness, the number of different species an area supports.

	Biogeography
		Biogeography is the science that attempts to document and understand spatial patterns of biodiversity.
		One of the most important concepts studied in biogeography today is centres of endemism, where species of restricted geographic range are found and where, through isolation and stability, speciation ocurs.
		The equilibrium theory of island biogeography proposes that the number of species on islands of similar habitat in the same latitudes depends on the size and isolation of the islands, and is a balance between the rate of immigration and the rate of extinction.

	Nearctica - Ecology - Biogeography
		Biogeography is the study of the distributions of plants and animals over the surface of the Earth in both space and time.
		Biogeography may also try to elucidate the changing distributions of organisms over time, either in the short term or over geological time.
		Historical biogeography, on the other hand, attempts to explain the current distributions of species and ecosystems (habitats) on the basis of historical patterns of ecological changes, climate changes, or vicariant events.

	SIUE Geography - AOS in Biogeography
		Biogeography is the study of the distributions of organisms, both past and present.
		It is the science that attempts to describe and understand spatial patterns of biodiversity and the variation of those patterns.
		Today, the distributions and abundance of many species are being adversely affected by human land use and development, so biogeography has become an important science to the conservation of these species and the design of nature reserves.

	Acadia Winter Watershed Geochemistry: Island Biogeography
		That is, national parks tend to try to preserve wilderness (nature in its most wild, untouched, and pristine form) but they are often locked in by, if not urban areas, at least land where human development is evident and wilderness is less likely to be preserved.
		The concept of island biogeography with reference to the Schoodic area is interesting because it's separated from MDI, the primary location of Acadia National Park.
		According to the theory of island biogeography, an island's biodiversity is directly impacted by its distance from the mainland, so, MDI's, being an island, biodiversity is directly related to Schoodic's biodiversity.

		The lasting contribution of the book is in its summary of avian distributions and natural history, not in the phylogenetic interpretation of speciation and biogeography.
		However, to reconstruct the biogeographic history of areas of endemisin (the goal of the field of historical biogeography), one must compare cladograms of independent lineages found in the same areas and search for patterns of congruence.
		Ornithologists would be aided by having it on their bookshelves as a reference for examples of major distributional patterns, island biogeography, apparent habitat limitations, and bird movements.

	Biogeography: Wallace and Wegener
		Today Alfred Russel Wallace (left) is a prisoner of scientific parentheses, as in, "the theory of evolution by natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin (and also by Alfred Russel Wallace)." Yet Wallace was a great naturalist in his own right, particularly in the way he used evolutionary theory to interpret the natural world.
		In one of his most important applications, he helped found the modern science of biogeography — the study of how species are scattered across the planet, and how they got that way.
		As he traveled through Indonesia, for example, he was struck by the sharp distinction between the northwestern part of the archipelago and the southeastern, despite their similar climate and terrain.
