Uma Breve história da Biogeografia: De Linnaeus à Revolução Croizatiana.

With the aim of increasing the teaching of multifaceted disciplines, that deal with dynamic features of biotas in geographical space, in a short or long time scale, a concise history of biogeography in the post-linnean phase is presented. We explore cases of interest for correlated areas of knowing. Linnaeus provided the first biogeographical formalization, with the postulate center of creation and dispersion, so that he is considered the starting point for narrative and analytical phases of the historical biogeography. Revealing discoveries, events and protagonists allows a revision of key concepts belonging to the mainstream of the contemporary historical biogeography. We think this approach, far from spent, contributes so to illustrate as well as to develop a critical perception concerning content. The post-linnean dispersionist ideas of select naturalists from the 18th and 19th centuries are explored and confronted with the revolutionary proposal of the botanist Léon Croizat. His inspiring metaphor - earth and life evolved together - represented an epistemological rupture regarding the classical dispersionism and influenced the creation of new biogeographical thinking schools, rival or complementary. With the Croizat's panbiogeography, enhancing spatiotemporal relationships of biotic components prevailed within the triad - Space, Time and Form. On the other hand, the paradigm of island biogeography, a dispersionist model for excellence, far from being discarded, has recently been revitalized with a modern approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
