A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

The concept of biogeography defined. The scope of biogeography.

Biogeography is the study of the distribution of living organisms across space and through time. For examination purposes, you must master both the definition and the scope of the field, because questions often test what biogeography studies, the scales it covers, and how it links organisms, environment, and historical change.
