Geographic distribution of species

Split into historical and ecological biogeography

1) Species has a definite site or region of origin

2) Achieves a broader distribution by dispersal

2) Barriers are related to the differences between organisms in various regions

3) Inhabitants of the same area are related but the species differ place to place
