Biogeographic - "Over periods of ecological changes, biogeography includes the study of plant and animal species in: their past and/or present living refugium habitat; their interim living sites; and/or their survival locales. Biogeography is most keenly observed on the world's islands."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogeography

Refugium - "In biology, a refugium (plural: refugia) is a location which supports an isolated or relict population of a once more widespread species."

Relict - A relictual population is a population currently inhabiting a restricted area whose range was far wider during a previous geologic epoch.  Relictualism occurs when a widespread habitat or range changes and a small area becomes cut off from the whole. A subset of the population is then confined to the available hospitable area, and survives there while the broader population either shrinks or evolves divergently." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relict_(biology)

"Divergent evolution is typically exhibited when two populations become separated by a geographic barrier (such as in allopatric speciation)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergent_evolution

Allopatric speciation (from Ancient Greek ἄλλος (állos) 'other' and πατρίς (patrís) 'fatherland')  biological populations become geographically isolated from each other to an extent that prevents or interferes with gene flow. Observation of nature creates difficulties in witnessing allopatric speciation from "start-to-finish" as it operates as a dynamic process.
