Zoogeographic Region
1. Holarctic (Palearctic plus Nearctic)
a. Palearctic
Europe, North Africa (to Sahara), Asia (except India,
Pakistan and SE Asia) and Middle East.
Number of vertebrate families = 42; Endemics
families = 0.
b. Nearctic
Canada, USA, Mexico to tropics
Number of families = 37; endemics = 2.
2. Neotropical
Tropical Mexico south to South America, Antilles
Number of families = 50; endemics = 19.

3. Ethiopian
Madagascar, Africa south of the Sahara, southern
Arabian Peninsula
Number of families = 52; endemics = 18.
4. Oriental
Pakistan, India, Southeast Asia, Philippines,
Indonesia west of Wallace's line (Sumatra, Java,
Borneo)
Number of families = 50; endemics = 4.
5. Australian
Australia, New Guinea, Tasmania, Indonesian
Islands east of Wallace's line (Celebes, Timor, etc.)
NOTE: does not include New Zealand
Number of families = 28; endemics = 17.
6. Oceanic
Oceans of the world and truly oceanic, isolated,
small islands

Nikolai Vavilov's centers of origin:
Southeast Asia - coconut, rice, sugarcane China - Chinese cabbages, soybean
India - cucumbers, eggplant, pigeonpea
Turkey-Iran - wheat, barley, oats, figs
Mediterranean - almonds, cabbage, olives
Mexico/Central America - maize, tomato
Andes/Brazil/Paraguay - peppers, potato, rubber

17 Wallaces’ Biogeographic Principles
1. Distance alone does not determine degree of
biogeographic affinity.
2. Climate has strong, but not complete, effect on
taxonomic similarity.
3. Prerequisites for determining biogeographic patterns:
detailed knowledge of distributions
natural classification of organisms
theory of evolution
knowledge of extinct forms
knowledge of historical geology
4. Fossil record is positive record of past migrations.

5. Present biota strongly influenced by last geological
and climatic events.
6. Competition, predation, etc. influence distribution,
dispersal, extinction.
7. Discontinuous ranges result (sometimes) from
extinction or habitats mosaics.
8. Species results from geographic isolation and local
adaptation.
9. Disjunctions of genera and higher taxa are older than
those between species.
10. Oceanic islands usually colonized through long-
distance dispersal.
11. Past land connections reflect current distributions of
poor dispersers.
12. Adaptive radiations can occur when predation
and competition are reduced.
13. Suturing formerly isolated biotas can lead to
extinctions through competition.
14. Current and historical processes can act at
different intensities.
15. Island biotas form according to island type (land-
bridge, oceanic).
16. Patterns are simplified in island biotas, making
them important model systems.
17. To analyze the history of a regional biota:
phylogenetic and distributional data.

Human Influence on Original Species
Distribution
Human colonization
Harvest flora and fauna
Introduction of new species
Reintroduction
Competition with indigenous human / flora / fauna
Impact :
Failure of colonization
Coexistence
Extirpation of indigenous human/flora/fauna
Human Colonization

Americans vs. First Nations (“Indian”)
Australians vs. Aborigins
Cases
Related to human colonization
Impact :
Decrease or extinction of some species,
esp. endemic species
Habitat degradation
Community change

transmission of new disease and new
pests
