November 7, 1913, died #OTD British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. A pioneer of evolutionary theory and biogeography

His grave at Broadstone Cemetery is marked by a 146-million-year-old tree fossil of Protocupressinoxylon purbeckensis

But his contributions didn't stop there! His explorations and discoveries also laid the foundations of modern biogeography.

This week’s #ThrowbackThursday spotlight study highlights that studying how organisms are distributed geographically (biogeography), and tools such as satellite imaging and genetic tracking, can allow for effective environmental policy. Learn more: https://ow.ly/blRt50Z88Ru

If you're a fan of geckos, deserts, continental radiation, biogeography and morphological evolution, I shamelessly recommend our latest

I'm Stephanie, an aquatic ecologist and postdoc at the University of Georgia. I study how marine animals make food and habitat choices at a variety of scales from individual behavior up to global biogeography.

Follow for cute critters, science news, and occasional deep dives on my own work!

That is so cool. One of the breakthroughs of the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project was understanding colonisation around the fragments. So understanding permeability and not treating fragments as completely isolated. Less island biogeography, more metapopulation ecology.

💬 We also had the fantastic opportunity to listen to his talk, "Forging a theory of Marine Island Biogeography".

so tempted to chaos gremlin, but definitions we give the undergrads in the intro biogeography class:
morphological: visual/structural characteristics meet a threshold of similarity
biological: reproducing or potentially reproducing with viable offspring
evolutionary: genetic lineages, blah blah.

Second, my guess is that you're thinking of geography as mostly a political subject rather than the different fields in academic geography, which includes landforms and biogeography, and also less political versions of human geography.

(My brother is a landforms specialist.)
November 4, 2026 at 2:18 AM
So my question is about whether the national curricula you're thinking of has other versions of geography at other levels, or in other subjects.

I.e., landforms overlaps w geology, biogeography w ecology/biology, human bio w anthropology & econ, and what are the histories of those constructions
