Zoogeography is the study of the distribution of animal species across different regions of the world. It examines how geographical features, climate, and historical events influence where animals live. By understanding these patterns, scientists can learn about biodiversity and the factors that affect species survival. This field often involves mapping animal populations and analyzing their habitats. Researchers may study islands, mountains, and other landscapes to see how they impact animal migration and adaptation. Key concepts in zoogeography include biogeography, ecology, and evolution, which help explain the relationships between animals and their environments.
