biogeographically
By organism distribution
In terms of biogeography—the study of how plants and animals are distributed across the Earth.
The word describes relationships between species and their geographic locations: Biogeographically, Australia's marsupials evolved in isolation from placental mammals elsewhere.
Scientists use it when explaining why certain organisms appear where they do.
