the wwf scheme is broadly similar to udvardy's system, the chief difference being the delineation of the australasian ecozone relative to the antarctic, oceanic, and indomalayan ecozones. in the wwf system, the australasia ecozone includes australia, tasmania, the islands of wallacea, new guinea, the east melanesian islands, new caledonia, and new zealand. udvardy's australian realm includes only australia and tasmania; he places wallacea in the indomalayan realm, new guinea, new caledonia, and east melanesia in the oceanian realm, and new zealand in the antarctic realm.
