We've All heard the term "fauna". What is this concept? We'll see details.

Definition

So, fauna... What is this term? Big explanatory dictionary of modern Russian language by D. N. Ushakova argues that this fauna, all the species of animals characteristic of a given region or geological era. And if you want to describe the fauna of a particular region, continent, island, Pets (i.e. the ones that man artificially brought to the area or cultivated) are not taken into account. Although by themselves they also belong to this aggregate.

fauna that is

The same applies to insects (they are also representatives of the fauna), it is often the people coming into new territory with the purpose of development or just traveling, not knowing, brings with him disguised in the clothing or in the baggage of adult insects or their larvae, diluting or even violating the historically in this area “backbone” of the animal world. But with this method of propagation, each kind of insect has a chance to survive in a foreign location due to unsuitable climate.

Together

On the Basis of geographical criteria, biologists brought together representatives of fauna groups, which are also connected among themselves on the basis of historical relationships and common biogeocenoses (ecosystems). As a result, the world of fauna was able to be clearly classified according to zonal-continental basis. In scientific circles this topic is called geographical. But the animal world is a single continent and a certain latitude should not be considered as a single cluster. So I had to extend the chain of division of animals: the ichthyofauna (fishes), avifauna (birds), entomofauna (insects).

world fauna

But “sorting” has not ended. The ecological nature of the species – this is the next step to the classification of fauna, reflecting the lifestyle and behavioral characteristics of each species. For example, in flooded areas and marshlands inhabited by only swim in the subtropical and tropical forests are dominated by who can jump from tree to tree and adapted to life on plants such animals.

So, fauna… What is it? What is it? More about this below.

Flora and fauna: what is it?

Very important in the study of fauna of an area is finding out ways and means of immigration of species in the local group. This, as already mentioned, in some degree imputed to man, as the intensive development of Intercontinental Maritime routes and aircraft jeopardizes the identity and authenticity of the fauna of different ecosystems.

All of the methods and techniques of classification and gradation, as well as keeping and preserving the diversity with the observance of endemism equally apply to flora. And what does this concept? Now a look. It is the totality of the plants growing in a particular area.

By the Way, man, too, is representative of the fauna, although he calls himself the pinnacle of evolution, the crown of creation of nature. It's all because of the volume of the brain. He is immeasurably greater intelligence of any other living creature. The possession of the gift of speech and a brain that allows you to think and create, – that is what distinguishes man from animals.

flora and fauna what is this

In General, human activity on Earth can be called creative. But often the success in this circling the head and cause a burst of ambition and vanity, allowing you to think that fauna – is the property of man given to him from Heaven. And, adhering to this view, for millennia, man has tamed, ennobled, has cultivated many species of animals that are either assistants or entertainment, or food.

Conclusion

Now you are aware of concepts such as flora and fauna. What kind of terms we discussed. It is possible with confidence to state that the representatives of these classes populate our world. Thanks to the flora and fauna of our planet is called life, because all animals, birds and plants to create the biosphere of the Earth.
