{wiki=Cosmopolitan_distribution}
The term "Cosmopolitan distribution" generally refers to a species or a group of organisms that have a wide geographic distribution, found in many different regions across the globe. In ecology and biogeography, a cosmopolitan species is typically one that can thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and is not restricted to a specific region. For example, some common plants, animals, or microorganisms are considered cosmopolitan because they are found on multiple continents and in various ecological niches.
