|
| It is also a major objective of vegetation sciences like agriculture, forestry, geobotany, biogeography, landscape ecology, and resource management and makes it a strongly interdisciplinary topic and task. |
|
| In spite of the polarization of these views among biogeographers, patterns of distribution can be explained by a combination of dispersalist and vicariance biogeography. |
|
| It could give evolutionary biologists greater insight into species and speciation, and assist archaeologists in mapping the biogeography of ancient populations. |
