Glossary of "Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (2nd ed.)" by Botkin & Keller (1998)
- Six biotic provinces, or biogeographic regions, divided on the basis of fundamental inherited features of the animals found in those areas, suggested by A. R. Wallace (1876). His realms are Nearctic (North America), Neotropical (Central and South America), Palearctic (Europe, northern Asia, and northern Africa), Ethiopia (central and southern Africa), Oriental (the Indian subcontinent and Malaysia), and Australian.
