The phrase "a large distribution range" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the extent or area over which something, such as a species or product, is distributed or available.
Example: "The species is known for having a large distribution range, spanning several continents and diverse habitats."
Alternatives: "a wide distribution area" or "an extensive distribution range."
This situation is nicely exemplified by species with a large distribution range, which end up being present in different habitat types.
This implies that the evolution towards higher dispersal distances will be easier in populations that occupy a large distribution range or face lower dispersal costs, thereby allowing individuals to keep track of faster moving climate windows.
Since A. thaliana shows a large distribution range throughout the Northern Hemisphere [ 7] and grows in highly differentiated local habitats, it is ideally suited to investigate the roles of drift and selection in phenotypic variation.
Maritime pine is a long-lived organism (up to ~200 years under natural conditions) with a large distribution range and important ecological and economic value in the western Mediterranean basin.
L. decora has a large distribution range, extending from south Asian countries like Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam to China, whereas N. insignis has a more restricted distribution in Yunnan and Sichuan in China [ 21].
The approach of using several loci and sampling individuals from a large distribution range to estimate a common level of LD may also have masked the variability of LD among genes that is now emerging as whole gene studies report high levels of LD in some of the genes examined (Lepoittevin et al. 2012; Namroud et al. 2010; Pavy et al. 2012).
The detection limits had a large distribution, ranging from 0.2 to 170 ppm.
Several subspecies are recognised across the very large distribution range that includes much of Eurasia and the islands of Macaronesia.
Whenever possible, we tried to include multiple populations for each species in order to assess intraspecific variation; sampling was especially intense in the three African species with very large distribution ranges.
The gymnosperm group does, compared to the angiosperm group, contain fewer species, but many gymnosperm species have very large distribution ranges and are of great ecological and economical importance [ 32].
Although recent studies have shown that larval dispersal oftentimes occurs over smaller spatial scales than previously believed (Swearer et al. 2002; Almany et al. 2007; van der Meer et al. 2012; Puebla et al. 2012), many marine species typically have high fecundity rates, large distribution ranges, and population size (Palumbi 1994).
