Abstract
Neglected research areas in biogeography are suggested. Biocenoses, or biotic communities, are the basic units with which the biogeographer should be concerned. Biogeographic research should now pass on from the study of species to integrated work on entire biocenoses, the interdependence between biocenoses and their biotopes, and the study of biocenoses in their comparative geographical context. Biogeography should be concerned with the structural features of biocenoses and their changes through time and through space. Of particular importance at the present time is the geographical aspect of man's influence on biocenoses. The discussion is limited to terrestrial biocenoses because, in the author's judgment, this aspect of biogeography has been lagging behind research on aquatic biocenoses.
