The distribution of living organisms on Earth is spatially structured. Early biogeographers
identified the existence of multiple zoogeographical regions, characterized by faunas with …

Ecology and historical (phylogeny-based) biogeography have much to offer one another, but
exchanges between these fields have been limited. Historical biogeography has become …

Topographic change shapes the evolution of biodiversity by influencing both habitat
connectivity and habitat diversity as well as abiotic factors like climate. However, its role in …

A foundational paradigm in biological and Earth sciences is that our planet is divided into
distinct ecoregions and biomes demarking unique assemblages of species. This notion has …

The geology of the earth has shown profound changes in the position, connectivity and
topography of continents during the last 100 Myr, which could have shaped the …

To unravel the complex shared history of the Earth and its life forms, biogeographers
analyze patterns of biodiversity, species distribution, and geological history. So far, the field …

At the foundations of all biogeographic patterns is the geographic template–the spatial
variation in environmental conditions, which is substantial but highly non-random for all …

Deciphering the geographic context of diversification and distributional dynamics in
continental biotas has long been an interest of biogeographers, ecologists, and evolutionary …

Barriers to dispersal and resulting biogeographic boundaries are responsible for much of
life's diversity. Distinguishing the contribution of ecological, historical, and stochastic …
