	Zoogeography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zoogeography is the branch of the science of biogeography that is concerned with the geographic distribution of animal species and their attributes.
		Zoogeography is the study of the patterns of the past, present, and future distribution of animals (and their attributes) in nature and the processes that regulate these distributions, and it’s the scientific analysis of the patterns of biodiversity regarding time and space.
		Zoogeography integrates information on the historical and current ecology, genetics, and physiology of organisms and their interaction with environmental processes (continental drift, climate) in regulating geographic distributions of animals.

	Instructor Class Description
		Marine zoogeography I: marine biotic realms and zoogeographic barriers; temperature, a primary geographic limiting factor; coastal fishes and the tropical zone; vicariance vs. dispersal.
		Marine zoogeography II: subtropical, temperate, and polar regions; fish faunas of the North Pacific and North Atlantic compared; Arctic and Southern Ocean fish faunas compared; antitropicality, bipolarity, and tropical submergence.
		Freshwater zoogeography: primary, secondary, and diadromous fishes; major terrestrial biotic realms and zoogeographic barriers; continental patterns of primary freshwater fishes; plate tectonics; vicariance vs. dispersal.

	Distribution
		We believe that for entomologists using zoogeography as a tool in a study of an insect taxon it is sufficient to distinguish three disciplines for three phases of a typical study of a taxon's geographic distribution pattern.
		Abundance of species of Coleoptera, diversity of their mode of life, ancient origin of many taxa, not infrequently dating back to the Triassic, and intensive adaptive radiation in a number of families determined the outstanding diversity of types of distribution ranges of beetles.
		This issue is one of the major ones in modern zoogeography because these principles have not been sufficiently elaborated yet and remain controversial in many respects.

	Fresh-water Fishes and West Indian Zoogeography, by George S. Myers
		Students of both phytogeography, or plant distribution, and zoogeography, or animal distribution, must depend largely on the geologist to tell them how the land and sea were bounded in the past, but often they can help the geologist in this very matter.
		There are fresh-water fishes which never swim into salt water, some which occasionally do but can survive it only for a short period, some which habitually frequent estuaries and other brackish waters and frequently enter the sea, and some which migrate back and forth between river and sea either continually or periodically.
		A contribution to the zoogeography of the West Indies, with especial reference to amphibians and reptiles.

	Aquatic Zoogeography of North America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This map shows subzones, regions, and subregions of aquatic zoogeography in North America (Nearctic Zone) and represents a synthesis of information derived from published literature and consultation with selected ichthyologists.
		The units are based on distributions of native fish species and follow hydrographic boundaries.
		More detailed hierarchical levels of aquatic zoogeography (river basins, subbasins, watersheds, subwatersheds) are described in Maxwell, J.R., C.J. Edwards, M.E. Jensen, S.J. Paustian, H. Parrott and D.M. Hill.

		These are examples of questions that are investigated in the field of zoogeography.
		Simply put, zoogeography is the study of the distribution of animal species on the surface of the earth.
		It complements and may involve other fields, such as phylogenetic systematics, paleontology, ecology, climatology and geology.

		On the Zoogeography of the Holarctic Region, by Karl Patterson Schmidt
		Leaving the explanation of this world pattern of glaciation to the geologists, the facts clearly have an important bearing on certain problems of historical zoogeography.
		In this list Chelydra, Ophisaurus, Leiolopisma, and Elaphe are found also in southeastern North America, and with the substitution of Platysternon for Chelydra, the same genera are represented in China.
