Part of the modern distribution of fossils. Can reflect this in paleobiogeography (biomes) filter bridge. Difficult migration and dispersal, some animals are filtered out. Woolly rhinos and pigs ea -/> na. Pronghorns and peccaries na -/> ea escalator there are two types: Hopping, where living organisms can "hop" from one island to the next (hawaiian islands formed by the pacific plate passing over a hotspot) Continuous (iceland) biogeography where and why organisms occur barrier. A dispersal method in which something that blocks the way. An obstacle (a country being surrounded by water or a body of water between 2 countries) viking funeral ship. A dispersal method that happens with plate tectonics. Fossils rafted to a new land mass aboard a microcontinent or island arc paleobiogeography where and why organisms occurred at times in the past sweepstakes dispersal routes that are crossed rarely and only by chance (hawaiian.
