Integrative Biogeography

Integrative Biogeography combines various scientific disciplines, such as ecology, geology, and genetics, to understand how species are distributed across different regions over time. In the context of Historical Biogeography, it looks at how historical events—like climate changes, land shifts, and species migrations—have shaped current biodiversity. By examining both historical data and modern ecological relationships, scientists can better understand how and why certain plants and animals exist in specific locations today, revealing the complex interplay between the environment and living organisms throughout Earth's history.
