Textbook: There will be no manditory textbook for Zoogeography. An excellent optional text (you don’t need it, but it's a good source and many of the notes are taken from the text) is: Biogeography by M.V. Lomolino (et al. Sinauer Associates, Inc., Third edition, 2006). In addition, many references will be made to the primary literature and students are expected to be well versed in accessing published journal articles. A good source for many references in zoogeography can be viewed by clicking HERE (courtesy of Dr. A.G. Lewis with revisions by EBT).
