Here, we generate a global map of zoogeographic regions by combining data on the distributions and phylogenetic relationships of 21,037 species of amphibians, birds, and mammals.We identify 20 distinct zoogeographic regions, which are grouped into 11 larger realms.

The above map depicts an important new geopolitical boundary: being inside and outside of Facebook. Over the last few centuries maps have focused on dividing territory into the administrative units of countries. Newer spatial realities, however, are driven by the flow or inhibition of information. One's physical location is just a single variable in the multitude of virtual projections possible in the networked world. Although the borders of countries may still be highly controlled, the movement of thoughts, ideas, and gestures follows more fluid paths. Via Alexander Baldwin
