Biogeography is a branch of science that explores the distribution of living organisms and their relationships to the environment across different geographical areas. Biogeographers study various factors that influence the distribution of species, including historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes. This field often involves examining patterns of species richness, endemism (species unique to a specific location), and the effects of geological events (like continental drift, glaciation, and mountain building) on biodiversity.
