  Fundamentals of Biogeography and Ecosystems
Palaearctic realm is very similar to the Nearctic in terms of the diversity of biomes including tundra, grassland, deciduous and coniferous forest, chaparral, and desert biomes.
It is separated from Palaearctic realm by the Sahara desert; previously separated by an arm of the sea.
It was isolated from the Palaearctic by the Himalayan Mountains.

 Conservation Ecology: Mammalian herbivores in the boreal forests: their numerical fluctuations and use by man
The native species inhabiting forest landscapes of the boreal zone in the Nearctic and Palaearctic are listed in Table 1.
In the Nearctic, there are 31 species of mammalian herbivores distributed among eight families, and in the Palaearctic, the corresponding figures are 24 species and seven families.
Semi-domesticated reindeer in the Palaearctic produce meat and hides on a commercial basis, and are also used to a limited extent for milking, as are semi-domesticated moose in Russia.

 Genetic structure of populations of Ochlerotatus dorsalis (Meigen, 1830)
Odh (99% criterion) in the Palaearctic population, and
Estimates of genetic variability showed that the Palaearctic population ranked higher than the Nearctic population in percentage of polymorphic loci, the mean number of alleles per locus, and the value of mean heterozygosity.
Observed differences in values of genetic structure parameters were probably due to association of genetic variability, level of ecological heterogeneity, effective size of populations and historical events, as well as independent evolution of geographically distant populations.

The interest and encouragement, throughout the long development of the Palaearctic habitat typology project of Michel Cornaert, Eladio Fernández Galiano, Ulla Pinborg, Jean-Pierre Ribaut, Barry K. Wyatt, Dorian Moss, Marc Roekaerts, José Vasconcelos, Mircea Oltean, were fundamental to its undertaking and to all aspects of its elaboration.
Development of the Palaearctic habitats classification was supported by financial contributions of the Kingdom of Belgium, of the Commission of the European Communities and of the Council of Europe.

Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) and its bearing on the incrimination of vectors of malaria in the west of the Palaearctic Region
In contrast, very little is known about the western Palaearctic taxa, where these more or less exophilic and exophagic mosquitoes were not generally considered to be important vectors.
in the western part of the Palaearctic is complicated by the fact that existing data refer to an unknown number of species, each of which may have a different vector potential.

 Sphingidae of the Western Palaearctic - Species list
This work is a detailed study of the species and subspecies of Sphingidae that occur regularly within the zoogeographical boundaries of the western Palaearctic region, with particular emphasis on their ecology and dynamic biogeography: notes on their morphology and taxonomy are also provided.
With about 71 percent of the region's sphingid taxa being endemic, the treatment of the western Palaearctic as a distinct sub-region of the Holarctic is justified.
The zoological and botanical delimitation of the sub-region is given and a small gazetteer is provided.

A cladistic analysis of the West Palaearctic Scopaeina Mulsant and Rey, 1878 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae: Paederinae) is presented along with bionomic and biogeographic information.
Results show that Scopaeina comprises two well-supported monophyletic groups in the West Palaearctic, Micranops Cameron, 1913 and Scopaeus Erichson, 1840, which are considered to represent distinct genera.

Handbook of the Palaearctic Macrolepidoptera,Volume 1 - Sesiidae - Clearwing Moths, by Karel Spatenka, Oleg Garbunov, Zdenek Lasluvka, Ivo Toserski and Yutaka Arita
This beautiful volume is the first in an ambitious and important new series destined to update and replace the now seriously out of date work by Seitz on Palaearctic Macrolepidoptera (1905-1954).
The number of known species has increased considerably since Seitz's time, so has the number of lepidopterists, the means of making taxonomic consideration and access to many parts of the Palaearctic.
