Biogeography (FoB) is the scientific journal of the International Biogeography
Society (IBS, www.biogeography.org), a
not-for-profit organization dedicated to promotion of and public understanding
of the biogeographical sciences. IBS launched FoB to provide an
independent forum for biogeographical science, with the academic standards
expected of a journal operated by and for an academic society.
