Mammal Biogeography

Mammal biogeography is the study of the geographic distributions of the world's mammal species. It encompasses the evolution of their distributions, the mechanisms that influence their ranges, and the effects of climate change on current distributions. Mammal biogeography is important for conservation studies, helping to identify areas at risk from climate change, as well as informing actions to mitigate those risks. It also allows us to understand the interrelationships between different ecosystems and species and the effects of human activities. Mammal biogeography is an integral part of biodiversity studies, and is essential in understanding the evolutionary history of the mammal species.
