Peer Review

[edit]

Lead in section - I think that your introduction is very well formatted, but it may include too much technical information. I think the more complicated explanations of biogeography would be better suited later in the article. The first part of the introduction that includes the basic definition and the last part that includes some of the origins of the term would be sufficient.

The introduction section is very well written and allows for a more technical overview of the subject. Maybe some of the more technical information from the lead in section could be added in this section. I think that doing that would create a more accessible article and readers won't be alienated by a complicated lead in.

I enjoyed the paleobiogeography section because it displayed a very specific use of biogeography and how it can be used in practical applications. I was wondering if there were any other specific examples of biogeography that you could mention, or even add a section of similar to the paleobiogeography section. The Paleobiogeographic section also seems like it would be a very controversial subject and I think it may be appropriate to add information on whether or not there are controversies surrounding it. baldwinwt (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:10, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Further comments on content

[edit]

The recent additions and revisions to this article have been very useful! Thank you to the editors working on this. I notice you have been drawing extensively from Browne's Secular Ark, which many historians of science recognize as one of the most comprehensive and rigorous treatments of the history of biogeography. That said, your bibliographies listed above and on the Further Reading section offer readers and editors other sources to explore for more information or to corroborate Browne's research. So, good choice there. I also know there are plans to expand a section on modern applications of biogeography. For that I recommend consulting Cox and Moore's textbook, which I also see listed in your bibliographies. Overall, this is significant work on a broad and important topic in the history of ecology. --Enstandrew (talk) 15:58, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Draft outline

[edit]

There is a proposed outline for this topic at Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines/Drafts/Outline of biogeography. Please note that there's a link on the talk page to a RM request suggesting moving it to draftspace. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:56, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
