 | 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. |

I think climate change will be the biggest complication to determining ranges because it's changing the current ranges and effecting all of earth's systems

The species are beginning to move around more because of climate change, so the range of the species are starting to change.

The biggest complication in determining the range of a particular animal will be human activity. From destroying the natural habitat to the hunting of animals being legal or illegal.

They can use sings of erosion and other geographical signs. They can also consider the accessible resources in the area.

species move around, and the range of species can be a very large area so it could be hard to count the exact number of species in an area

Species are typically not restricted in their range. They are free to expand and shrink their territory, which affects the cumulative range of the entire species. Additionally, some species are hard to find and track.

Numbers of animals are droping and growing at extreme rates. Climate change, deforestation and human impacts are creating issues for animals and plants. Some animals will die out and others will be fine, but its almost impossible to keep tack with all the impacts 9/17/2018 09:00:57 am
The range of the animals ca be vast because of human interaction

A complication would be trying to determine the range in difficult geography

Climate change complicates the range of species because of the changing environment and moving of the animals

i think climate is a big effect of range because animals will move based on the weather

Climate change is causing the species to migrate away from their natural habitat.

Biogeographers can tag animals and bugs and track them over time. But in order to find them in the first place you must understand that they won't be in the same place forever because of climate change.

I think the biggest complication in determining the range of a particular species is climate change because its causing these species to move to other areas.

Animals that move around a lot will effect the mapping out of species and some animals have started to move because of the climate and some move because the things that they depend on is growing in a different region.

it would be complicated because species of animals move around because of climate change

Climate change because now animal behavior is going to drastically change along with plant life because particular plants and animals can only live in certain conditions and when those conditions are altered so does the animal and plant.

Climate change can be a big factor on making it hard to track animals because then they have move because the change in environment.

The biggest complication in mapping a species range is the climate and more importantly climate change because their range depends on the climate. Plants and animals could adapt to climate change, but they cannot adapt as efficiently as humans, so there would be a population decrease.

ummm maybe I'm wrong but when talking about animals couldn't you just use tracker collars... problem solved. Most likely climate change wont affect it.

the animals are constantly moving because of many different factors in the environment like climate change

The moving because of climate and the migration of animals due to the season or the invasion of the space due to prey and pred.

I think climate change would have the biggest impact on range. As the climate changes plants will develop other places which would cause animals to spread.

Climate change will effect determining the rage where animals spread out because animals are becoming to be more unpredictable because of how climate is changing

Climate change because species are moving to places where they never have been before.

Since animals aren't restricted to an area and can spread out or cluster together however and whenever they want, it can be very difficult to accurately range that's species average location. Another big factor is climate change, because if the environment becomes unsuitable for a species, then they will be forced to move into a more suitable location, causing us to not find them in the areas that we usually find them in.

climate change could make aimals move out of a place because it could be killing off environment and where if they can change there what they pray with could maybe change the population Leave a Reply. |
