Its origins lie deep within the related sciences of biology, geography, geology, palaeontology and ecology. It is the Biogeography is a broad discipline but has two main “branches”: Ecological Biogeography: present distributions and geographic variation in diversity, how biotic and abiotic interactions influence species distributions. each species inhabits only a part of the earth’s surface, is specifically adapted to this habitat, and varies in abundance over its geographic range. This class will examine and explain, from both an historical and ecological standpoint, spatial patterns Students learn the patterns and mechanisms of global to local species distributions. The three fields are historical biogeography, ecological biogeography, and conservation biogeography The Meaning and Scope of Biogeography How do you define Biogeography? Students will get acquainted with Introduction: defining the indefinable. Lectures The lectures will be approximately 1hr andminutes in length and lecture notes will be available on the course site on D2L before class. untold millions of species that are now extinct, only a fraction recorded as fossils.
