BIOL 318 - Principles of Biogeography

Institution:

University of San Diego

Subject:

Description:

Why do plants and animals occur where they do? Some of the answers to that question are ecological and come from examining the relationships between organisms and their environment. Other explanations derive from studying the history of life on earth. This course concerns those patterns and processes that have shaped the distributions of organisms in time and space. By employing concepts and information from paleogeography, phylogeny, and ecology, the course will explore the approaches for recovering the biogeographic history of organisms.
