Basic ideas of this discipline provide an opportunity to understand the mechanisms of faunogenesis, the principles of formation of modern animal diversity, its transformation over geological time. The theoretical core of the discipline "Zoogeography with the basics of biogeography" consists of such sciences as anatomy, morphology, zoology, taxonomy, geography and ecology. However, it is closely related to such disciplines as evolutionary theory, biodiversity, nature conservation.
