The study of how organisms are distributed across the Earth.

The characteristic of New World monkey nostrils is a wide septum.

Old World monkeys have two premolars.

Oceanic islands are geographically isolated and tend to have a lower diversity of species compared to continents.

Darwin's finches are a group of finches found on the Galapagos Islands, renowned for their diverse beak shapes, which have evolved to adapt to different food sources.

Charles Darwin is the scientist who made significant contributions to the understanding of biogeography, particularly through his observations of the Galapagos Islands.

New World and Old World monkeys evolved from separate ancestors on different continents.

Oceanic islands have a low diversity of species due to their isolation from other landmasses, limiting the possibility of new species arriving.

The Galapagos Islands are significant because they offer a unique example of how species have colonized and adapted to a new environment, illustrating the principles of island biogeography.

The nasal septum in New World monkeys is wide and flat, unlike Old World monkeys whose septum is narrow.

Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands demonstrate adaptive radiation, where a species diversifies into multiple forms to fill different ecological niches.

Continents have a wider variety of species compared to islands due to their larger size and interconnectedness, allowing for greater biodiversity and ecological interaction.

Species on different continents tend to be more similar within the same continent than they are between continents, reflecting their shared evolutionary history and environmental factors.

The study of biogeography focuses on the distribution of organisms across various geographic locations and the factors that influence their patterns.
