地理范围是地理学和宏观生态学的基本单位。越来越多的古生物学家和生态学家都在从化石中重建物种的地理范围，以了解控制地理和宏观进化模式的长期过程。随着这些重建变得越来越普遍，古山脉和现代山脉的等同性出现了不确定性。在这里，我们认为，地理范围是在所有时间尺度上的时间平均，并反映了生物和非生物的过程中操作的时间和空间尺度的等效范围。这个概念框架整合了使用现代和古代数据重建的地理范围的研究，并强调了范围的潜力，以阐明在地球历史的几天到几千万年的时间间隔内负责多样性模式的过程。
Geographic ranges are a fundamental unit of biogeography and macroecology. Increasingly, paleontologists and ecologists alike are reconstructing geographic ranges of species from fossils, in order to understand the long-term processes governing biogeographic and macroevolutionary patterns. As these reconstructions have become increasingly common, uncertainty has arisen over the equivalency of paleo-ranges and modern ranges. Here, we argue geographic ranges are time-averaged at all temporal scales, and reflect the biotic and abiotic processes operating across the equivalent range of time and space scales. This conceptual framework integrates the study of geographic ranges reconstructed using modern and ancient data, and highlights the potential for ranges to illuminate processes responsible for diversity patterns over intervals spanning days to tens of millions of years of Earth history.
