The study of biogeography involves a range of scientific disciplines that includes geogras phy, geology and biology, and cannot be fully understood without a knowledge of the full spectrum of ecological and historical processes.

The absolute-rate method is recommended for testing MacArthur-Wilson predictions about area and distance, and for a large set of data on orb spiders, this method was shown more consistent and conclusive than regressions having the relative rates as dependent variables.
