The spatial component of biogeography attempts to describe and explain the distributions of one or more species over the world. Biogeography may also try to elucidate the changing distributions of organisms over time, either in the short term or over geological time. The political and economic importance of biogeography can be very great indeed. Species and ecosystem distributions need to be considered in making any land management or conservation decisions. Biogeography has many modes. Biogeography can be purely descriptive describing the distributions of particular species or habitats (ecosystems). These species or ecosystems mappings are very important from a conservation and land management viewpoint and also provide basic biological information crucial to all of the natural sciences.

   Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species spatially and temporally. Over areal ecological changes, it is also tied to the concepts of species and their past, or present living ' refugium ', their survival locales, or their interim living sites. It aims to reveal where organisms live, and at what abundance. As writer David Quammen put it, "...biogeography does more than ask Which species? and Where . It also asks Why? and, what is sometimes more crucial, Why not? The patterns of species distribution across geographical areas can usually be explained through a combination of historical factors such as speciation extinction continental drift glaciation (and associated variations in sea level , river routes, and so on), and river capture , in combination with the area and isolation of landmasses (geographic constraints) and available energy supplies. Modern biogeography often employs the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to understand the factors affecting organism distribution, and to predict future trends in organism distribution. Often mathematical models and GIS are employed to solve ecological problems that have a spatial aspect to them.

VisionsofAmerica/Joe Sohm/Getty Images zSB(3,3) Biogeography is a branch of geography that studies the past and present distribution of the world's many species. It is usually considered to be a part of physical geography as it often relates to the examination of the physical environment and how it affects species and shaped their distribution across space. As such it studies the world's biomes and taxonomy - the naming of species. In addition, biogeography has strong ties to biology, ecology, evolution studies, climatology, and soil science. The study of biogeography gained popularity with the work of Alfred Russel Wallace in the mid-to-late 19th Century. Wallace, originally from England, was a naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, and biologist. He first extensively studied the

Island Biogeography and Habitat Fragmentation Endemism Habitat Fragmentation ... Biogeography is the study of the geographic location of a species. Island biogeography is the study of the species composition and species richness on islands. Island biogeography is a study aimed at establishing and explaining the factors that affect species diversity of a specific community. An island in this context, is not just a segment of land surrounded by water. It is any area of habitat surrounded by areas unsuitable for the species on the island. Other examples of "islands" include dung piles, game preserves, mountain tops, and lakes. Mountain tops are considered islands. In 1967, ecologists Robert MacArthur and E.O. Wilson, coined the Theory of Island Biogeography . This theory attempted to predict the number of species that would exist on a newly created island. It also explained how distance and area combine to regulate the balance between immigration and extinction in an island population. Immigration is the appearance of a new species in a community. Extinction is then the disappearance of a species from a community. This relationship is known as "species turnover", states that the equilibrium value for the island is proportional to the number of immigrants that come to the island, and the loss of individuals due to emigration and extinction.

Biogeography not only provides significant inferential evidence for evolution and common descent, but it also provides what creationists like to deny is possible in evolution: testable predictions. Biogeography is split into two areas: ecological biogeography which is concerned with current distribution patterns and historical biogeography which is concerned with long-term and large-scale distributions. Biogeography probably isn't familiar to many people as a scientific field in its own right, perhaps because it depends so much on work done independently in both biology and geology. C. Barry Cox and Peter D. Moore write in their text Biogeography: An Ecological and Evolutionary Approach , 7th edition: The patterns of biogeography are the result of the interaction between the two great engines of our planet: evolution and plate tectonics. ,,,Because it faces such wide-ranging questions, biogeography must draw upon an extensive range of other disciplines. Explaining biodiversity, for example, involves the understanding of climate patterns over the face of the Earth, and the way in which the productivity of photosynthetic plants differs with climate and latitude.
