Difference between Biogeography and The Theory of Island Biogeography

Biogeography vs. The Theory of Island Biogeography

Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in geographic space and through geological time. The Theory of Island Biogeography is a 1967 book by Robert MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson.

Similarities between Biogeography and The Theory of Island Biogeography

Biogeography and The Theory of Island Biogeography have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adaptive radiation, Conservation biology, E. O. Wilson, Ecology, Insular biogeography, Landscape ecology, Robert H. MacArthur, Speciation.

Adaptive radiation

In evolutionary biology, adaptive radiation is a process in which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms, particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available, creates new challenges, or opens new environmental niches.

Conservation biology

Conservation biology is the management of nature and of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction and the erosion of biotic interactions.

E. O. Wilson

Edward Osborne Wilson (born June 10, 1929), usually cited as E. O. Wilson, is an American biologist, researcher, theorist, naturalist and author.

Ecology

Ecology (from οἶκος, "house", or "environment"; -λογία, "study of") is the branch of biology which studies the interactions among organisms and their environment.

Insular biogeography

Insular biogeography or island biogeography is a field within biogeography that examines the factors that affect the species richness of isolated natural communities.

Landscape ecology

Landscape ecology is the science of studying and improving relationships between ecological processes in the environment and particular ecosystems.

Robert H. MacArthur

Robert Helmer MacArthur (April 7, 1930 – November 1, 1972) was a Canadian-born American ecologist who made a major impact on many areas of community and population ecology.
