Cataloguing organisms that share similar adaptations makes it easier to study all the environments found on Earth (Lomolino et al‚ 2017). The profile of the Earth and all its biomes have changed drastically over millions of years due to the continental drift that broke up Pangaea. The changes in the distribution of landmasses has caused drastic changes
