Introduction: Biogeography is defined as the study that deals with the geographic distribution of ecosystem and species. The species distribution indicates the evolutionary and ecological interactions with biotic and abiotic factors. There are four factors used by ecologists in order to examine the geographic distribution of species, dispersal, habitat selection, behavior, biotic factors, and abiotic factors.
