A.
The Theory of Island Biogeography
chosen
The Theory of Island Biogeography is a foundational ecological work that explains how species richness on islands is shaped by the balance between immigration and extinction, profoundly influencing modern conservation biology and biogeography.
-
B.
Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity and Biogeography
Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity and Biogeography is an influential ecological theory proposing that biodiversity patterns and species abundances can be explained by assuming ecological equivalence among individuals regardless of species.
-
C.
Wallace Line concept in biogeography
The Wallace Line concept in biogeography is a major faunal boundary in Southeast Asia that marks a sharp division between Asian and Australasian species distributions.
-
D.
The Geographical Distribution of Animals
The Geographical Distribution of Animals is a foundational 19th-century biogeography work by Alfred Russel Wallace that systematically analyzes how and why animal species are distributed across different regions of the world.
-
E.
