biogeography

noun ˌbʌɪəʊdʒɪˈɒɡrəfiˌbʌɪəʊˈdʒɒɡrəfiˌbīōjēˈäɡrəfē
mass noun
  • The branch of biology that deals with the geographical distribution of plants and animals.

    生物地理学

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Platnick and Nelson, who introduced the concepts of cladistic biogeography, required that all taxa used must occur in three or more similar areas.
    • The main subdisciplines represented in conservation biology are population genetics, population biology, landscape ecology and biogeography.
    • In addition to this one method, we have DNA testing, comparative anatomy, biogeography, embryology, and comparisons between molecular structures.
    • The lasting contribution of the book is in its summary of avian distributions and natural history, not in the phylogenetic interpretation of speciation and biogeography.
    • Chapter 3 focuses on evolution, systematics, and biogeography.
    • We would like to thank Michael L. May for many helpful discussions of damselfly biology and biogeography.
    • Historical biogeography deals with phylogenetic patterns among species and higher lineages attributable to relatively ancient events in earth history.
    • Darwin's third line of evidence came from biogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants and animals.
    • By using trilobite examples they push cladistic biogeography beyond the typical scope because the focus is a marine taxon whose evolutionary history predates the fragmentation of Pangea.
    • No observations from the fossil record or genomics or biogeography or comparative anatomy that undermine standard evolutionary thinking.
    • Alexander von Humboldt of course made lasting contributions to the fields of physical geography and biogeography, adding to our knowledge of plants, animals, and the earth.
    • Nothofagus, the southern beech, is a classic example of plant biogeography.
    • This result is inconsistent with the assumption of the equilibrium theory of island biogeography that animal density is independent of island area.
    • Nicotiana is one of the most comprehensively studied flowering plant genera with numerous studies having accumulated a large body of information concerning evolution, cytology, taxonomy and biogeography.
    • So long as its shortcomings are recognized, this book has a wealth of information on the distribution and ecological biogeography of birds.
    • Uncertainties in history, archeology, biogeography, anthropology and biosystematics obscure the dates and places of the first domestication of cultivated crops.
    • She then moved to the American Museum of Natural History in New York for postdoctoral work on the systematics, biogeography, and conservation of Caribbean birds.
    • Despite its very promising beginnings, we agree with the assessment of Nelson and Ladiges that cladistic biogeography has yielded few genuinely new insights over the last twenty years.
    • One of his previous books on natural history, The Song of the Dodo, dealt with island biogeography and endangered species.
    • The foregoing is not to say that Newton does not appreciate the fact that a phylogenetic hypothesis can be important in biogeography.

Derivatives

  • biogeographer

  • noun
    • ‘The changes [in ocean acidity] aren't huge,’ said John Guinotte, a marine biogeographer at the Marine Conservation Biology Institute in Bellevue, Washington.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Most cladistic biogeographers have not been so explicit but have nevertheless implicitly assumed that correspondence to a general pattern implies that individual lineages existed at the same time.
      • The objective is to bring ecologists, paleontologists, geneticists, biogeographers, and others together to think ambitiously and work on evolutionary problems on a broad scale.

      • A phenomenon which fascinated Wallace, and has occupied generations of biogeographers ever since, is the sudden change in flora and fauna that occurs in the twenty-mile wide channel between the small islands of Bali and Lombok.
  • biogeographic

  • adjective ˌbʌɪəʊdʒɪəˈɡrafɪk
    • There are a variety of phylogenetic biogeographic methods.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Williams et al. compare the biogeographic signal in mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences in Indo-West Pacific starfish and snapping shrimp.
      • But because they do not advocate this practice, they review island biogeography and biogeographic principles of reserve design in separate, widely spaced chapters.
      • Second, the results of standard cladistic biogeographic analyses, which may combine groups of different ages, cannot be unambiguously attributed to any particular cause.
      • This ancestral biogeographic distribution encompassed a much broader range, comprising Siberia and southern Europe-northern Africa.
  • biogeographical

  • adjective ˌbʌɪəʊdʒɪəˈɡrafɪk(ə)l
    • The existence of a clade formed by the Spanish species is supported also by biogeographical data, so that these species are geographically isolated from other species.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Finally, we propose a biogeographical hypothesis of speciation events within the N. mediocris species complex.
      • The biogeographical affinities of the fauna are thus not clear.
      • Because of its systematic and biogeographical position, this genus is also relevant for the understanding of plant evolution.
      • However, robust inferences can be made from a combination of molecular genetic, biogeographical and palaeontological studies.
  • biogeographically

  • adverbˌbʌɪəʊdʒɪəˈɡrafɪkli
    • Through most of the Neogene, tropical America has been biogeographically divided into two surprisingly distinct provinces.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Clearly, raising each unique sequence type to the level of a strain is not biologically informative as each ‘strain’ will map to a terminal branch in a phylogeny and little can be inferred biogeographically or evolutionarily.
      • This paper is the first in a series of studies re-describing echinoderm taxa from these biogeographically important Paleozoic assemblages.
      • These taxa are biostratigraphically and biogeographically significant and are discussed more fully below.
