- a territory, where a given taxon occurs
- a territory, where a given taxon occurs only rarely
According to shapes ranges are divided into:
- continuous and discontinuous
- concentrated and dispersed
- large and small
Maps of the ranges are used as:
- graphical expression of taxa
- graphical expression of the territory
- graphical expression of fauna on the territory
According to human activities the ranges are:
- original and secondary
- primary and original
- derivative and secondary
The ranges can be classified by shape:
- macroranges, mesoranges, microranges
- macroranges and cosmopolitan ranges
