The lecture introduces the distribution and diversity of animals (and plants) on the globe, shows the causes of the present distribution of species.
What is biogeography. History of biogeography
Distribution of species – ranges
Biogeographical processes – dispersal, immigration
Speciation and extinction – the impact on fauna diversity
Geological processes – how could be explained separate character or similarity of fauna
Biological interactions and distribution of species
The impact of abiotic factors on fauna distribution
Past intercontinental movements of the species
Biogeographical regions
Biomes - review
Island biogeography
The human impact on species distribution

Learning outcomes
Knowledge.
EK1 The student knows the physical, chemical, biological and geological phenomena occurring in nature responsible for the contemporary distribution of fauna, both historical and contemporary;
EK2 The student characterizes the levels of life organization, biodiversity and the mutual interactions of organisms with the environment, explains the reasons for the differences in the fauna of islands; recognizes human-induced disturbances affecting the distribution of species
EK3 The student defines concepts from the scope of the basics of biogeography, describes and recognizes biogeographic regions and biomes
Assessment criteria
The grade will be based on quizzes on recognizing the fauna of biogeographical regions and a final test of knowledge (single choice and open questions).
For a grade of 3 (sufficient) > 55% of the sum of points obtained from 2 quizzes and the final test
For a grade of 4 (good) > 70% of the sum of points obtained from 2 quizzes and the final test
For a grade of 5 (very good) > 85% of the sum of points obtained from 2 quizzes and the final test
