【Habitat】 , 【biotype】 ,  【range】 ,  【station】  are comparable in their technical biological senses in which they agree in denoting the place in which a particular kind of organism lives or grows.

【Habitat】 refers especially to the kind of environment (as desert, seacoast, grassland, marsh, or forest) in which a kind of plant or animal is normally found.

【Biotype】 stresses the uniformity of an environment or 【habitat】 type and the consequent uniformity of its living population.

【Range】 distinctively applies to the geographical extent of a 【habitat】 or 【biotype】 or to the region in which a plant or animal naturally grows or lives and throughout which it is distributed.

【Station】  may be used in place of  【habitat】  or  【range】 , but it is often restricted to the most typical part or to the one at which a given specimen has been collected.
