Técnicas em estudos biogeográficos

Abstract

The Biogeography uses techniques to obtain information about plants and animals and their environment. These techniques are chosen in function of the space scale, time scale, aspects that are being researched, and biogeographical approach. The techniques come of various scientific fields, mainly of the Earth and Biological Sciences. The techniques are directed to the identification of the space units of the plants and animals; the information generated by techniques must present geographical values. The techniques applied to the fauna and flora studies most used in the biogeographical studies are described in this paper.
