evolutionary biogeography

Evolutionary biogeography is the study of how species and ecological communities distribute across the planet and how these distributions have changed over time due to evolutionary processes. It examines the relationship between evolution and geographic space, considering factors like climate, geological changes, and historical events. By analyzing patterns of species diversity and their evolutionary histories, scientists can understand how different organisms adapt to their environments and how they are related to one another, revealing the complex interplay between environment and evolution on a global scale.
