Cosmopolitan distribution

A cosmopolitan distribution describes a taxon whose range extends across most or all of the surface of the Earth, in whatever habitats it needs, rather than being confined to one region. Species with this distribution are typically highly adaptable to a wide range of climatic and environmental conditions, though not always. Killer whales are a leading example, maintaining resident and transient populations across almost every ocean on Earth, from the Arctic Circle to Antarctica. The rock dove is another example, occurring in most urban areas of the world in addition to a long history of domestic breeding.
