The branch of biogeography dealing with the geographic distribution of animal species.
Detailed Explanation
Zoogeography identifies six major biogeographic realms — Palearctic, Nearctic, Neotropical, Afrotropical, Indomalayan, and Australasian — each with characteristic fauna reflecting evolutionary history. The high similarity between Nearctic and Palearctic faunas reflects the Bering land bridge connection during glacial periods. Comparative zoogeography reveals patterns of faunal exchange, extinction, and endemic radiation that illuminate the history of life on Earth.
