The book focuses on
spatial and temporal variation of biological assemblages in relation to
landscape complexity and environmental change. This book is well illustrated
with numerous maps, graphics, and photographs, and contains much new basic
biogeographical information that is not available elsewhere. It will serve as an
invaluable reference for professionals and members of the public interested in
global biogeography, evolution, taxonomy, and conservation.
This note covers
the following topics: History and Development of Comparative Biogeography, Building
Blocks of Biogeography, Endemic Areas and Areas of Endemism, Biogeographic
Processes, Biogeographic Methods and Applications, The Systematic Biogeographic
Method, Geology and Comparative Biogeography, Implementing Principles,
Biogeography of the Pacific and the Future of Biogeography.
Biogeography is
the study of distribution of organisms both past and present. It is the science
which attempts to describe and understand the innumerable patterns in the
distribution of species and larger taxonomic groups.This notes holds the
following contents : Introduction, Energy Flow and Nutrient Recycling in
Ecosystems, Living organisms and the environment, Ecological Regimes, Important
Bio-geographic Processes.

This book, gives you a
very interesting report and overview about the frontiers of such parts of recent
biogeographical research, which plays important roles in solving our most
pressing global problems.
This thesis provides a study about the Pacific lithospheric
plate that forms a major subunit of the Indo-Pacific biogeographic region.
This thesis is defended on two primary grounds: the sharp decrease in numbers of
taxa as one proceeds eastward across the western margin of the Pacific Plate,
and the presence of a high degree of endemism on the Plate.
