Answer to Question 1

Biogeography is the study of the distribution of plants and animals, the diverse patterns they create, and the physical and biological processes, past and present that produce Earth's species richness. Like many subdisciplines of geography, biogeographic is interdisciplinary, studying geography, of course, as well as botany, zoology, geology, climatology, ecology, etc.
Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment. Though there is certainly cross-over in ecology and biogeography, there are non-spatial aspects of ecology while these are non-ecological aspects of biogeography (e.g. phylogeny or vicariance).

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
