Disjunct distribution information


Range of the snail Elona quimperiana, an example of a disjunct distribution

In biology, a taxon with a disjunct distribution is one that has two or more groups that are related but considerably separated from each other geographically. The causes are varied and might demonstrate either the expansion or contraction of a species' range.[1]
