The biogeographic affinities of the taxa assigned to these biotas are the most fundamental information considered to analyze accurately biogeographic transition zones. Ecological biogeographers have plotted the frequency of different distribution patterns on maps, detecting gradual changes in their relative ...
What ecosystem properties are particularly important to landscape ecology? A. What is a biogeographic realm? List eight of them. B. How do biogeographic realms indicate relatedness in terms of biodiversity at the global level? What are some characteristics of forest biomes? What...
Based on sunlight, availability of nutrients, and distance, the ocean is classified into various zones. Those are the intertidal zone, photic zone, neritic zone, aphotic zone, oceanic zone, and benthic zone.Answer and Explanation: The neritic zone comprises shallow water and a steady...

This separation is shown by paleomagnetic data (Zhao and Coe, 1989, Van der Voo, 1993, Zhao et al., 1993a, Zhao et al., 1993b, Uno, 2000, Huang et al., 2008), which suggest that these blocks were too far north to have been attached to Gondwana, and by biogeographic differences ...
[143] The biogeographic processes that result in the natural splitting of species explains much of the modern distribution of the Earth's biota. The splitting of lineages in a species is called vicariance biogeography and it is a sub-discipline of biogeography.[143][144][145] There are also ...
Biogeographic nodes can be characterized as sites of biological endemism, high diversity, distribution boundaries, anomalous absences, disjunct populations, taxonomic incongruence, parallelism and altitudinal anomalies. Their interpretation has depended on the evolutionary model used, in particular the mode of...
Recent work has shown how the seabed becomes ripe for exploration through its construction as a 'frontier' (see Zalik, 2018), or how seabed mining zones are constituted through complex data politics (see Sammler, 2016), rendering decision-making far from neutral or apoliti- cal. Work has ...
The South Island of New Zealand presents an interesting and important contrast to anthropogenic fire-driven forest dynamics in Tasmania. Both islands have similar cool temperate forest environments and share many environmental and biogeographic features, including common dominant woody taxa in the Nothofag...
