His comprehensive analysis is grounded in biogeography and draws upon an extensive collection of field observations, emphasizing the interplay between environment, geography, and zoological distribution. Wallaces literary style is precise and informative, indicative of the Victorian scientific discourse, and imbued with a vivid prose that reflects his passion for natural history. This work not only elucidates the patterns of species distribution but also challenges the prevailing notions of the time, laying the foundations for modern biogeographical studies. Alfred Russel Wallace, a contemporary of Charles Darwin, emerged as a pioneering naturalist whose explorations in the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago shaped his understanding of evolution and adaptation. His scientific inquiries were fueled by a profound curiosity about the natural world and a determination to understand the mechanisms of diversity. Wallaces theory of natural selection, co-developed with Darwin, amplifies the intellectual context in which this book was conceived, underscoring his significance in the history of evolutionary biology. This work is essential for scholars and enthusiasts of natural history, ecology, and evolution, as it provides an in-depth understanding of species distribution from a historical perspective. Wallaces insights remain profoundly relevant, making this dual volume an invaluable addition to any serious library on biological sciences. The meticulous detail and innovative thinking presented in these volumes will undoubtedly inspire readers to further explore the intricate tapestry of life on Earth.</p>...4498684The Geographical Distribution of Animals (Vol.1&2)4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-geographical-distribution-of-animals--vol-1-2--8596547781967/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4113730/image.jpg?v=638618498493300000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20238596547781967_W3siaWQiOiI3ODFkNmJkMy04YzBmLTQ2MWUtODY4Zi1mYjA0MWQ2MGY4MDEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMjBUMjE6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547781967_<p>"The Geographical Distribution of Animals" in 2 volumes is one of the best-known works by Alfred Russel Wallace. Extending the system developed by the British zoologist Philip Sclater for birds which divided the earth into six separate geographic regions for describing species distribution to cover mammals, reptiles and insects as well, Wallace created the basis for the zoogeographic regions still in use today. He discussed all of the factors then known to influence the current and past geographic distribution of animals within each geographic region, and provided maps showing factors, such as elevation of mountains, depths of oceans, and the character of regional vegetation, that affected the distribution of animals. Wallace summarized all the known families and genera of the higher animals and listed their known geographic distributions. Volume 1: The Principles and General Phenomena of Distribution: Introductory The Means of Dispersal and the Migrations of Animals On Zoological Region Classification as Affecting the Study of Geographical Distribution On the Distribution of Extinct Animals: The Extinct Mammalia of the Old World Extinct Mammalia of the New World Various Extinct Animals Zoological Geography: The Order of Succession of the Regions The Palarctic Region The Ethiopian Region The Oriental Region The Australian Region Volume 2: The Neotropical Region The Nearctic Region Summary of the Past Changes and General Relations of the Several Regions Geographical Zoology: Introduction The Distribution of the Families and Genera of Mammalia The Distribution of the Families and Genera of Birds The Distribution of the Families and Genera of Reptiles and Amphibia The Distribution of the Families of Fishes The Distribution of Some of the More Important Families and Genera of Insects An Outline of the Geographical Distribution of Mollusca Summary of the Distribution and Lines of Migration of the Several Classes of Animals</p>...(*_*)8596547781967_<p>In his seminal work, "The Geographical Distribution of Animals" (Vol. 1 & 2), Alfred Russel Wallace offers a meticulous examination of the factors influencing the distribution of animal species across the globe.
