Авторы книги "Biogeography" представляют обзор широкого спектра полей, с которыми взаимодействует биогеография. В числе авторов - шестнадцать специалистов со всего мира, представивших различные подходы, основанные на их конкретных знаниях и опыте, что позволяет нам проиллюстрировать огромное количество разнообразных аспектов исследуемого вопроса. Эта книга помогает экологам и биологам понять, как организмы связаны со своим окружением, а также предложить решения таких современных вызовов как глобальное потепление, массовое вымирание видов и пандемии.
Biogeography allows the study of the distribution and populations of life on earth, not only within its boundaries, but also between interrelated ecosystems and some other biological infrastructures as well as the natural principals and reasons that lead to the initiation of these problems, and give it background/interpretation to what other subjects such as ecology, evolution, climate change effects or even species migration processes. The various authors in this work shed light on the corresponding problems in their particular fields of each author's major research, while others then indicate how these ideas fit together in other related fields themselves. The writing and its contributors discuss the latest cutting edge ideas and insights coming from analysis methods including related science fields involving evolutionary biology, mathematical modelling, statistical physics and other sources.We should always remember that our future sustainability and destruction are functionally intimately linked and that the continuing closure of some of the ecological dangers, such as that from the alteration in nitrogen flows or climate change, serve to emphasize that these interconnections are an absolute. Today we face challenges such as Global warming, severe species extinctions and dreaded pandemics.It therefore becomes imperative for our society collectively to adopt innovative and sustainable solutions as respondents forthrightly,and biogeographic attitudes are among the natural strategies that can work wonders to environmental safety and sustainability.

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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.
