The recent progress in analytical methods, aided by bringing in a
wide range of other disciplines, opens up the study to a broader
field, which means that biogeography now goes far beyond a simple
description of the distribution of living species on Earth.
Originating with Alexander von Humboldt, biogeography is a
discipline in which ecologists and evolutionists aim to understand
the way that living species are organized in connection with their
environments. Today, as we face major challenges such as global
warming, massive species extinction and devastating pandemics,
biogeography offers hypotheses and explanations that may help to
provide solutions. This book presents as wide an overview as
possible of the different fields that biogeography interacts with.
Sixteen authors from all over the world offer different approaches
based on their specific areas of knowledge and experience; thus, we
intend to illustrate the vast number of diverse aspects covered by
biogeography.
