Biogeography of Disease
EcoHealth - special feature
http://www.springerlink.com/content/1612-9202/6/4/
This special feature is the outcome of the symposium "The Biogeography of Disease" organized by Sam Scheiner and Kate Morris at the 2009 Meeting of the IBS in Merida, Mexico. The issue includes research covering emerging diseases and more traditional areas of biogeography such as the nature of ecogeographic rules in a suite of 15 articles.
Biogeography
Biogeography is the study of the geography of life — from physiological, morphological and genetic variation among individuals and populations to differences in the diversity and composition of biotas along geographic gradients. Biogeography provides a holistic understanding of the relationships between the Earth and its biota.

The IBS mission
The International Biogeography Society (IBS) was founded in 2001 with the following mission: (1) Foster communication and collaboration between biogeographers in disparate academic fields - scientists who would otherwise have little opportunity for substantive interaction and collaboration. (2) Increase both the awareness and interests of the scientific community and the lay public in the contributions of biogeographers. (3) Promote the training and education of biogeographers so that they may develop sound strategies for studying and conserving the world’s biota.
Join the IBS
Join the IBS, help support its mission, and receive member benefits, including free online access to Blackwell Publishing's four biogeography journals and the society's journal Frontiers of Biogeography, discounts on meeting fees, books, and access to two additional Blackwell Publishing journals.
