zoogeographic

When people go looking for new species of, say, frogs or snails, they usually have reliable zoogeographic evidence in the form of distribution patterns of related species.

Wallace, by contrast, is best remembered – if at all – in the Wallace Line, a zoogeographic boundary separating Australia from south-east Asia.

Changes in aquatic trophic structure and zoogeographic distributions will alter biomagnification of contaminants, including persistent organic pollutants and mercury, and potentially affect freshwater food webs, especially top-level predatory fish (e.g., lake trout) that are sought by all types of fisheries.

The Cape Faunal Centre is a distinct zoogeographic zone that coincides roughly with the Floral Region as far as the eastern end of Western Cape Province.

These authors used the major rivers, the Kapuas and Barito, to represent zoogeographic barriers to a few mammal species and based subunits largely on these barriers but also used climatic regimes for the drier eastern biounits.

Hake and anchovy, which are normally to be found in two separate zoogeographic provinces, coexist in this LME.

Alpine regions are typified by a specialized fauna of great zoogeographic interest, with high endemicity and local phenotypic variation.

The fynbos and renosterveld ecoregions are more-or-less coincident with the Cape Faunal Center (CFC), a distinct zoogeographic zone characterized by the phylogenetic antiquity of much of its invertebrate fauna.

The magnificent biotic variation and composition of the Sulaiman Range Alpine Meadows, a central site for plant endemism, is the result of the ecoregion's role as a transitional zone between Palearctic and Indo-Malayan zoogeographic regions.
