Mammals inhabit the Earth since at least the Cretaceous and have colonised all continents and oceans. My work aims at understanding the nature and importance of the different processes leading to current geographical distributions of mammals and in particular faunal similarities between regions of the globe. By describing the phylogenetic and functional facets of mammalian diversity, I adopt an integrative approach, at the interface between historical and functional biogeography.First, I review and synthesize most of the published multifaceted diversity metrics to propose a limited number of structural dimensions that parsimoniously describe the phylogenetic and functional structure of species assemblages. In particular, I point out how a m...
