Title |
Biogeography, lecture |
Description |
Why are different areas in the world inhabited by distinct communities? Why does the distribution area of some species include several continents whereas others are restricted to single mountain-tops or lakes? And why are some regions in the world more species rich than others? Those are some of the fundamental questions addressed in biogeography, the study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in space and time. The integration of molecular phylogenetics, molecular dating, species distribution data, and a better knowledge of earth history now allows to test those fundamental questions and has led to a better understanding of the processes generating biodiversity. The lecture "Principles of systematics and phylogeny reconstruction" is recommended as a basis for this course. |
