 | Central Question: How can biogeographers track and communicate where species are located? Guiding Thought Question: What do you foresee as the biggest complication in determining the range of a particular species and mapping it out? Today's Learning Objective: Students will work through the process by which species range is plotted and mapped. Students will learn the various cartographic methods that are used to map out species, and then work through the process themselves in mapping out plant species around the school grounds. |

changing climate forcing animals out of historic range, human development effecting habitat, migration

Being able to locate the species and determining whether or not the species commonly appears in this area or if a sighting was an outlier or not.

Ranges change with even an individual or by the year. Each year the patterns of weather changes, causing animals to migrate around a bit, their range shifting a bit every year.

Small species, constant migration, determining if the species actually lives in the said range or is an outlier, hunters, etc. All of these could be examples of complications in determining and mapping

maby the animal likes to hide under ground so that would be hard to track them

Tracking of Movement and migration of species would complicate in determining ranges of animals.

If the species migrates a lot, or is very small, ooooooooor likes to hide.

if an animal is particularly sneaky or if their range includes areas that are really difficult to get to, like Antarctica or something!

If the animal needs to move around constantly for food they might end up in places they are not supposed to be in Leave a Reply. |
