Document Summary
Topics of the chapter: distribution limits, patterns, density (abundance), rarity and extinction. The plants or animals have habitat requirements, so they should not be occurring where these requirements are not met. Climate and distribution of kangaroo species. Macropus giganteus- where precipitation varies little from season to season, but rain is not rare. If it"s not wet, it certainly isn"t dry. Second one is more common where winter rainfall dominates. Third one is where conditions are hot and dry. The top of the australia is tropical rain forest. None of them live there. Very dry can"t live there. They don"t like areas overgrown by vegetation because they cannot run. Distribution and climate often match: the case of a tiger beetle. For longilabris, they live at higher latitudes and elevation than any other tiger beetle species in na. Their distribution coincides with the locations of boreal forests.
