Zoogeography is the branch of the science of biogeography that is concerned with the geographic distribution of animalspecies and their attributes.
Zoogeography is the study of the patterns of the past, present, and future distribution of animals (and their attributes) in nature and the processes that regulate these distributions, and it’s the scientific analysis of the patterns of biodiversity regarding time and space.
Zoogeography integrates information on the historical and current ecology, genetics, and physiology of organisms and their interaction with environmental processes (continental drift, climate) in regulating geographic distributions of animals.
Marine zoogeography I: marine biotic realms and zoogeographic barriers; temperature, a primary geographic limiting factor; coastal fishes and the tropical zone; vicariance vs. dispersal.
Marine zoogeography II: subtropical, temperate, and polar regions; fish faunas of the North Pacific and North Atlantic compared; Arctic and Southern Ocean fish faunas compared; antitropicality, bipolarity, and tropical submergence.
Freshwater zoogeography: primary, secondary, and diadromous fishes; major terrestrial biotic realms and zoogeographic barriers; continental patterns of primary freshwater fishes; plate tectonics; vicariance vs. dispersal.
