Discuss how the distribution of a species can be affected both by its evolutionary history and by ecological factors. Could ongoing evolutionary change also affect its distribution? Explain.

Species is the classification of a large group of biological organisms like plants or animals with shared characteristics with members interbreeding among themselves.Examples of different species includeblack bears, sunflowers, humans, microscopic bacteria, jack pines, white-tailed deer, and moose.

Various characteristics related to species are shared gene pool, similar biochemistry, similar anatomy, interbreeding, and similar genetic material.The different roles performed by species in an ecosystem are species diversity, influence productivity, ecological niche, and ecosystem’s integral component.

Biogeography is the subfield of geographic and biological disciplines that focus on past and present species and ecosystem distribution in the geographic space.

Biogeography branches include ecological, island, palaeobiogeography, and conservation biogeographies.An example of biogeography is the classification of the floral region of North and South America.

Ecological factors(factors influencing living organisms like light, soil, and temperature)such as biotic and abiotic factors limit species distribution. When species are distributed to a new area, they are unable to survive and reproduce due to the incompletion of their life cycle.

Predation, competition, and parasitism are considered negative interactions of species with other organisms, which cause relocated species to be unable to complete their life cycle. The evolutionary change also affects the distribution of species due to their adaptation in different environments.
