Biogeography





Biogeography is the science which aims at documenting and understanding
spatial patterns of biodiversity.

It can be defined as the study of distribution and pattern of variation in
numbers and kinds of living organisms.
Biogeography is a synthetic science, related to geography, biology, geology,
climatology, and ecology. It is usually not an experimental science, as the
spatial and temporal scales makes experiments difficult, but rather a
science of observation.
