Dispersal refers to the movement of organisms from their birth site to their breeding site. It influences distribution because it has the potential to lead to gene flow and the further propagation of the various species that were dispersed.

∙ 9y agoThe body size of volume ratio affects the ability of an animal to conserve its heat. Animals that have the ability to regular their body temperature can colonize a wider range of environments. On the other hand, the habitat is more determined by temperature if the animals have less control over their rate of metabolism. Not very many species can live in environments with extreme temperatures and special adaptations are hence required.

∙ 9y agoSome animals may establish and defend an area in order to maintain a food supply, avoid being hunted, raise offspring or attract mates, resulting in intra and inter specific competition for space. There may be limited places suitable for territory establishment and this affects animal distribution. The territory of these animals can be permanent or temporary.

What animal or species has the hottest body temperature and what animal has the coldest temperature?
the warmest is a lizard and the coldest is shark!
What is topic of zoogeography?
Zoogeography is the scientific study of the geographical distribution of animal species.
How does mass extinction affect species that survive?
Every animal is a part of the food chain, so mass extinction can have very bad consequences for the species that survive. The surviving species must learn to work around the animal that has recently become extinct.
How is global warming likely to affect an animal species that has narrow temperature requirements?
When climate changes, animals that have narrow temperature requirements will migrate to a different region, where they can find the temperature that they need, if they can. In the case of the polar bear, which requires a cold temperature in order to hunt seals from floating ice sheets, there isn't any colder region to which they can migrate, so they are out of luck.
How might extinction of one species throw an ecosystem into turmoil?
An extinction of one species could destroy an ecosystem if an animal depended on the extinct animal for food. Then that animal would die off, which could affect even more animals.
What animal or species has the hottest body temperature and what animal has the coldest temperature?
the warmest is a lizard and the coldest is shark!
What is a zoogeographer?
A zoogeographer is someone who is interested in zoogeography, the scientific study of the geographical distribution of animal species.
Does environmental change affect animal species?
yes it dose
What is homeothermic?
warmblooded animal species that able to keep their body temperature.
What is topic of zoogeography?
Zoogeography is the scientific study of the geographical distribution of animal species.
What is the evidence that Pangaea was once attached?
Fossil distribution, sub-surface fit of continents, geological provinces. distribution of plant and animal species, tectonic plate movements...
Can humans affect extinction?
Absolutely ! The human race is the only animal species on the planet that has hunted other species to extinction.
What is the Animal Diversity Web?
The Animal Diversity web is an online database that collects natural history, classification, species characteristics, conservation biology, and distribution information about animals.

What is the distribution of an animal?
Species distribution is the manner in which a biological taxon is spatially arranged. Species distribution is not to be confused with dispersal, which is the movement of individuals away from their area of origin or from centers of high population density. A similar concept is the species range. A species range is often represented with a species range map. Biogeographers try to understand the factors determining a species' distribution. The pattern of distribution is not permanent for each species. Distribution patterns can change seasonally, in response to the availability of resources, and also depending on the scale at which they are viewed. Dispersion usually takes place at the time of reproduction. Populations within a species are translocated through many methods, including dispersal by people, wind, water and animals. Humans are one of the largest distributors due to the current trends in globalization and the expanse of the transportation industry. For example, large tankers often fill their ballasts with water at one port and empty them in another, causing a wider distribution of aquatic species.
Which one did Darwin and Wallace derive most of their evidence for evolution a mechanisms of heredity b the anatomy of different species c geographical distribution d embryology e animal behavior?
I would say geographic distribution.
