Biogeographers studydistributions of organisms, both past and present, and how relatedpatterns of environmental variation influence the organisms. Recent newsciences of Landscape Ecology, Macroecology, and Global Ecology areextensions of or borrowsignificantly from Biogeography. Biogeography is also an appliedscience in that biogeography theory is useful for designing naturereserves, forecasting how climate change may affect organisms, andexplaining human adaptations to environmental variability.
