How else you call the area?

Community and Forum → Insects biology and faunistics → How else you call the area?

Peter Khramov, 14.09.2010 20:48

...And at the same time, there is also no desire to call it a zone (so that tautology does not arise).

Example:

Area
The Palearctic zone.

What can this" area " in the title be replaced with? Because if you call it an area, a person will expect more detailed information, and not just an indication of the zone.

Distribution.

Palearct, a palearctic species...
You would have given the full name...

14.09.2010 21:05, Peter Khramov

Dragonsbane, thank you, option.
Papaver, I need a universal header suitable for any view and for any zone (s).

Palaearctic, brother, is not a zone. The most common phrases are " palearctic region "and"palearctic region".

Palearctic, Nearctic, Neotropical, Ethiopian, Indo-Malay, Australian: can you call them all regions, not zones?

However, if we are talking about the distribution of the species, it is also advisable to indicate the latitude and longitude (in my opinion, this will be more accurate), but where can we get such accurate data? If we are talking about a specific instance, then the collection point.

Vasily, we are talking about the distribution of the species in the first approximation, i.e., the possibility of separating the flies of Australia from the cutlets of North America. And the exact data, where to get them, and even so with longitudes and latitudes...

The habitat. A well-established concept for everything.

That's what I'm talking about (this is a difficult question). Example: Danaus Chrysippus seems to be present in the Palearctic, but I don't see smile.gifit here

Duc, in Europe it is.

14.09.2010 22:45, Peter Khramov

gost' , and then what is the difference between the Habitat Area and just the Area?

14.09.2010 22:46, vasiliy-feoktistov

Duc, in Europe it is.

And in Muscovy it is mute.

14.09.2010 22:51, Peter Khramov

And in Muscovy it is mute.

First, the division by zones/regions, then by country, and then we'll see.

"Habitat" is a tautology. An area is the area of distribution of a given taxon.

smile.gif I remember being given the same comment.

In general, we make the heading Area or the heading Distribution. As I understand it, there are no more suitable options for this case...

Palearctic, Nearctic, Neotropical, Ethiopian, Indo-Malay, Australian: can you call them all regions, not zones?

I clicked the wrong button...
Yes, of course. Natural areas and biogeographic areas are not the same thing at all.
In your case, "distribution" is probably better. In this case, you can implement 3 approaches:
1. Administrative and territorial division.
2. Zonal.
3. Textual delineation of the area.
You can do without the so-called area type - see, for example, Gorodkov's articles.
Well, you can throw yourself into the power of perfectionism and combine all these approaches. rolleyes.gif shuffle.gif
The phrase "distribution area", as has already been rightly pointed out, is a tautology.

OK, we take on armament. Thank you all for your comments.
