They spread through Antarctica and Australia that were at that time joined together. Continental Drift - The Case of Marsupial Evolution Marsupials encountered placental mammals in North America, could not compete, and became extinct. The modern opossums are recent arrivals from South America. The placental mammals expanded into South America, but the marsupials were well established there. About 50 million years ago, Australia drifted apart from Antarctica and remained in isolation with only marsupials to diversify on the continent. Wallace’s Line Wallace’s line represents a geographic separation between Asian and Australian faunas. A collision of tectonic plates brought formerly distant land masses closer together. Temporary Land Bridges Temporary land bridges have been important pathways for dispersal. Land bridge connected Asia and North America across the Bering Strait. Today, a land bridge connects North and South America Climatic Cycles and Vicariance Glacial cycles have occurred with durations of 20,000 to 100,000 years within the past three million years. Taxa sharing the same areas typically differ greatly in evolutionary age and in phylogenetic branching pattern. Climatic Cycles and Vicariance Cycling temperatures interact with the habitat requirements of animals. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Aquatic Biomes Aquatic biomes account for the largest part of the biosphere in terms of area. Can contain fresh or salt water. Oceans cover about 75% of Earth’s surface. Have an enormous impact on the biosphere. Inland Waters Only about 2.5% of the earth’s water is fresh. Much of that is found in polar ice caps or underground aquifers. Inland Waters Lotic, or running water habitats include streams and rivers. More oxygen Lentic, or standing water habitats i
