Biogeography is the science which aims at documenting and understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity It can be defined as the study of distribution and pattern of variation in numbers and kinds of living organisms. Biogeography is a synthetic science, related to geography biology geology climatology , and ecology . It is usually not an experimental science, as the spatial and temporal scales makes experiments difficult, but rather a science of observation. Some fundamentals in biogeography are evolution (change in genetic composition of a population) extinction (disappearance of a species) dispersal (movement of populations away from their point of origin) See also Ecozone Ecoregion Ecological land classification Floristic province ...

ISLAND BIOGEOGRAPHY (and Fragmentation) Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are ideal places for unique species to evolve. Island species are especially vulnerable to extinction because they have a small geographic range. They are limited to the island or a particular part of the island, and they usually have low population numbers. These factors make them more likely to become extinct as a result of natural factors such as disease, fire, and normal population fluctuations. If the population is small to begin with, a natural occurrence may occasionally kill enough individuals so there is no longer a viable population of that species. This dynamic is exacerbated when introduced species such as humans, their domesticated animals, pests, and diseases arrive on the island. Native species that have evolved without contact with these new organisms are often unable to compete or defend themselves. Habitat destruction, direct hunting, competition for food, and other factors put intense pressure on island species.

References Introduction With its numerous cultivated varieties, the sweet orange ( Citrus sinensis Osbeck) constitutes one of the world's most popular and recognizable fruit crops. Sweet oranges are citrus fruits ( Citrus spp.), which are regarded as high sources of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and other fruit acids. These fruits are hesperidiums, because of their fleshiness and separable rind. Physically, citrus fruits consist of forty to fifty percent juice, twenty to forty percent rind and twenty to thirty-five percent pulp and seeds. Chemically, they contain eighty-six to ninety-two percent water, five to eight percent sugars and one to two percent pectin with lesser amounts of acids, protein, essential oils and minerals (Janick et. al. 1981). Citrus fruits grow on small evergreen trees, many of which depend on root mycorrhizae (Janick et. al. 1981). Most of these C plants are cultivated as scions on rootstocks. All

72. The Basic Model Of Island Biogeography The Basic Model of Island biogeography. The model is one Wilson model. Figure from Brown and Gibson biogeography. The extinction http://zeus.uwindsor.ca/courses/biology/macisaac/55-437/lecture10.htm

The Basic Model of Island Biogeography The model is one of a dynamic equilibrium between immigration of new species onto islands and the extinction of species previously established. There are 2 things to note immediately: 1) this is a dynamic equilibrium, not a static one. Species continue to immigrate over an indefinite period, not all are successful in becoming established on the island. Some that have been resident on the island go extinct. The model predicts only the equilibrium number of species, will remain 'fixed'. The species list for the island changes; those changes are called turnover. 2) The model only explicitly applies to the non-interactive phase of island history. Initially, at least, we will consider only events and dynamics over an ecological time scale, and one which assumes ecological interactions on the island occur as a result of random filling of niches, without adaptations to the presence of interacting species developing there. Evolution is clearly excluded. The variables used in the basic model are I s , the immigration rate, which is clearly indicated by the subscript to be species specific, i.e. to be dependent on the number of species already present on the island. Here we're not counting noses, but rather the rate at which new species (those not already present on the island) immigrate. Phrased explicitly, it is the number of species immigrating per unit time onto an island already occupied by S species. Also E

73. Island Biogeography Island biogeography. Why do many the fauna. That is the essence of the MacArthurWilson equilibrium theory of island biogeography. How http://www.stanfordalumni.org/birdsite/text/essays/Island_Biogeography.html

Island Biogeography W hy do many more species of birds occur on the island of New Guinea than on the island of Bali? One answer is that New Guinea has more than fifty times the area of Bali, and numbers of species ordinarily increase with available space. This does not, however, explain why the Society Islands (Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, etc.), which collectively have about the same area as the islands of the Louisiade Archipelago off New Guinea, play host to many fewer species, or why the Hawaiian Islands, ten times the area of the Louisiades, also have fewer native birds. The theory predicts other things, too. For instance, everything else being equal, distant islands will have lower immigration rates than those close to a mainland, and equilibrium will occur with fewer species on distant islands. Close islands will have high immigration rates and support more species. By similar reasoning, large islands, with their lower extinction rates, will have more species than small ones again everything else being equal (which it frequently is not, for larger islands often have a greater variety of habitats and more species for that reason). Island biogeographic theory has been applied to many kinds of problems, including forecasting faunal changes caused by fragmenting previously continuous habitat. For instance, in most of the eastern United States only patches of the once-great deciduous forest remain, and many species of songbirds are disappearing from those patches. One reason for the decline in birds, according to the theory, is that fragmentation leads to both lower immigration rates (gaps between fragments are not crossed easily) and higher extinction rates (less area supports fewer species).

Geography 101 Announcements Course Outline Study Aids Check Test Score ... Home Biogeography Fundamentals of Biogeography and Ecosystems Biogeography and ecological systems Biogeography is the study of the geographical patterns of plant and animal species. To study the distributions of plant and animal species across the surface of the earth, a fundamental knowledge of ecology and ecosystem dynamics is required. Ecology is the study of the interactions among organisms. An ecosystem is a functioning entity of all the organisms in a biological system generally in equilibrium with the inputs of energy and materials in a particular environment. It is the basic ecological unit of study. An ecosystem is comprised of habitats, biological communities, and ecotones. A biome is often referred to as a global-scale community of plants and animals and is the largest subdivision of the biosphere. A biome may contain many different kinds of smaller ecosystems. Plants and animals disburse throughout the earth and occupy habitats favorable for their survival. A habitat is the specific, physical location of an organism. Each species has specific habitat parameters (temperature, moisture and nutrient availability). Within a habitat, organisms "occupy" a
