This subject includes the location and distribution of various communities and species. It is divided into two principal realms: Marine biogeography and terrestrial biogeography. |
|
This is not nearly as well known or developed as terrestrial biogeography. There are two major divisions. A rough guess at appropriate divisions of marine biogeography would include Arctic-Atlantic, Tropical Atlantic, Tropical Indo-pacific, and Antarctic.
Terrestrial biogeography is divided into regions:Holarctic (including Nearctic and Palearctic), Neotropic, Afrotropic, Indomalayan, Australasian, Oceanic, and Antarctic.

This is connected first to other sciences. Physics and chemistry are indirectly significant. Astronomy is also indirectly useful. Earth science is quite useful, and other biology is especially important. Other areas of knowledge such as Personal studies, anthropology, culture, and institutions will be connected as this site develops. Sociology including social structure and change, communities, and peoples of the world may be useful. This subject has an extensive history. Although some evidence is available from prehistory, antiquity, and classical and medieval times, it expanded considerably in modern times. Its future is obscure. |
