Les «ponts continentaux» favorisent la migration des organismes terrestres. C'est ainsi qu'un pont continental unissait l'Amérique et l'Europe au Néogène. Par contre, ces ponts continentaux sont un obstacle à la dispersion des organismes marins. C'est ainsi que l'isthme de Panama est une barrière infranchissable aux organismes des océans Pacifique et Atlantique, qui ne communiquent que très loin au sud. 4, record 1, French, - pont%20continental
