I got a few questions on these, firstly, I have seen different ones, used in different books. I usually use these ones:
Palearctic (Includes Greenland)
Afrotropical
Malagsy (Madagascar)
Indomalayan (AKA Oriental? South East Asia area)
Australasian (Aus, New Guinea + New Zealand + Others)*
Pacific (Islands)
Nearctic (North America)
Neotropical (South + Central America)
Antarctic
I have seen Iriyan Jaya split from New Guinea, the former being in the Indomalyan Region and the latter in the Austaliasian but I have also seen them both in the Australasian Region.
Question Two: Is there such thing as sub-zoogeographical regions, perhaps Western Palearctic being one. In Sibley's there are main 'sub-zoogeographical' regions in North American (Eastern, Western, Mexican, Pacific, Taiga and Arctic) and subsub zoogeographical regions. (Florida, Florida Keys, GreatPlains, Rocky Mountains, Great Basin, South West, Aleutians ect. ect.) Were these used just as aid or are they used by Biologists.
:flowers:
Question Three: Can I either, get on the internet, or buy somewhere, a complete map of zoogeographical and subzoogeographical, subsubzoogeographical and if there are even more 'subs' regions?
Thanks! :h?:
