Lomolino No preview available — Dispersal and Immigration Box 6. By providing a bioheography of the historical development of biogeography, evolution and ecology, along with a comprehensive account of the principal patterns, fundamental principles and recent advances in each of these fields of science, our ultimate vision is for Biogeography to serve as the centerpiece of a one- or lomolion core course in biological diversity.
Its fundamental assertion is that patterns in biological diversity make little sense unless viewed within an explicit geographic context.
