Worldwide distribution patterns of living animals are structured in multiple zoogeographical regions, characterized by faunas with homogeneous composition that are separated by sharp boundaries. These zoogeographical regions can differ depending on the considered animal group, probably because they have distinct characteristics such as dispersal, metabolism, or evolutionary history, and thus divergent responses to major biogeographical drivers, such as tectonic movements, abrupt climate transitions and orographic barriers. Here, we tested if the drivers of biogeographical boundaries are different between vertebrate classes with strongly divergent traits and evolutionary history.

动物地理边界的决定因素在脊椎动物群之间不同

活体动物的全球分布模式在多个动物地理区域中构成，其特征是动物群具有均一的组成，被尖锐的边界隔开。这些动物地理区域可能因所考虑的动物群体而异，这可能是因为它们具有不同的特征，例如分散、新陈代谢或进化历史，因此对主要生物地理驱动因素（例如构造运动、突然的气候转变和地形障碍）的反应不同。在这里，我们测试了生物地理边界的驱动因素在具有强烈不同特征和进化历史的脊椎动物类之间是否不同。
