In the last 25 years, biogeography has become the cornerstone of modern ecology and conservation biology, exploring a great diversity of patterns in the geographic variation of nature from physiological, morphological and genetic variation among individuals and populations to differences in the diversity and composition of biotas along geographic gradients.  The International Biogeography Society was established to foster communication and collaboration between biogeographers in disparate academic fields, and to promote the training and education of biogeographers so that they can develop sound strategies for studying and conserving the world's biotas.

Undoubtedly, much progress towards these goals can be achieved through the identification and development of needed publications.  The founding members of the IBS have discussed several publication ideas.  We are pleased to announce the publication of two books, Foundations of Biogeography and Frontiers of Biogeography.
