Biogeography relates the evolution of the Earth's biota to major
episodes in the Earth's history such as climatic changes and plate
tectonic events. Furthermore, biogeographic patterns have played a
prominent role in the development of the theory of evolution. Thus
biogeography has the potential to make important contributions to
the field of geobiology. Paleobiogeography emphasizes how
analytical techniques from phylogenetic biogeography can be applied
to the study of patterns in the fossil record. In doing this, it
considers the strengths and weaknesses of paleobiogeographic data,
the effects of plate tectonic processes (specifically continental
rifting and collision) and changes in relative sea levels in terms
of how they influence the evolution and distribution of organisms.
