Biogeographic regionalization of the Neotropical region: New map and shapefile. An Acad Bras Cienc (2022) 94 (1): e20211167. DOI 10.1590/0001-3765202220211167. Thanks to Manuel Barrios-Izás, Elián Leandro Guerrero, José Carlos Guerrero and Thelma María Mejía Ordóñez for providing helpful advice.
We provide a map and shapefile of the 57 biogeographic provinces of the Neotropical region. Recognition of these provinces is based on their endemic species, but their delimitation on the map is based on ecoregions combining climatic, geological, and biotic criteria.
For example, the Neotropical realm is divided into Central America and Southern America. One Earth utilizes these 14 realm divisions – further divided into 52 habitable subrealms, 185 bioregions, and 844 ecoregions – as a framework to better understand the natural world that surrounds us.
The Neotropical realm is one of the eight biogeographic realms constituting Earth's land surface. Physically, it includes the tropical terrestrial ecoregions of the Americas and the entire South American temperate zone.
7 kwi 2017 · The Neotropical Region (NR) is one of the areas with the most plant diversity globally, and its richness of vascular epiphyte (VE) species is higher than Africa and Asia combined.
25 mar 2014 · A biogeographic regionalisation of the Neotropical region is proposed as a hierarchical classification of sub-regions, dominions, provinces and districts.
tropical biogeography is well written, has clear and useful figures and maps, and contains a wealth of information that will be of use to researchers as a starting point for their studies of organisms in various neotropical regions, especially if one is interested in patterns. This
