Definition of biogeography in English: biogeographynoun ˌbʌɪəʊdʒɪˈɒɡrəfiˌbʌɪəʊˈdʒɒɡrəfiˌbīōjēˈäɡrəfē mass nounThe 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.
Derivativesnoun ‘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.
- Artists, photographers, filmmakers, kids doing nature study, biogeographers, conservation biologists, and activists, as well as taxonomists, shuffle through them for the sake of beauty, curiosity, and amazement.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
- Furthermore, trilobite faunas in the Early Cambrian were already differentiated biogeographically.
