Indonesia with an area of 1.99025 million km2 which is geographically located between two continents (Asia and Australia continent) and two Ocean (Indian Ocean and the Pacific). Indonesia is also an island country that has 13 478 islands, the number is a number that is registered with the United Nations, which is identified based on the methods and definitions of the UN convention.
In zoogeography, Indonesia separated by the Wallace line, this line separates the western part (Oriental region; the Indo-Malayan sub-region) and the east (the Australian region; Austro-Malayan subregion). This line is located between the islands of Bali and Lombok islands in the south and between the islands of Borneo and Sulawesi islands in the North. The western portion including at; the islands of Sumatra, Java and Borneo (Kalimantan region of Indonesia called) as well as the small islands around it, while on the east there; the island of Sulawesi, Irian Jaya, the island of Sumbawa, Flores island, island of Sumba and small islands located in the vicinity. This is because the fauna found in Indonesia is the same type fauna fauna originating from Asia and Australia.
While the fitogeografi, Indonesia is among the Paleotropical kingdom; Indo-malaysian subkingdom; Malaysian region (Lincoln et al, 1998). The difference in the spread of fauna and flora of this geographically very influenced by the ability of each to perform dispersal and barriernya. Animals always have a certain cruising extensive and mainly terrestrial animals, which are limited by the barrier-geographical barrier. While the plant has a wide distribution by means of dispersal are diverse.
Why fauna found in the western part of the Wallace line have different typical with that contained in the east? What is the main factor that causes this?
This article will discuss the history of the formation of Indonesian territory geographically, so our question about the influence of Asia and Australia in the fauna and flora in Indonesia can be understood more full detail
