 | 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. |

A species might move around to different areas during certain seasons or they could be spread out over a wide area.

They could use tracking devices to follow the animals, then map it.

The biggest complication I would see is not getting the specific measurements because there are a lot of factors affecting it.

Missing a habitat or realizing that they can adapt and live in other ranges too

The biggest complication in determining and mapping out the range of a species is knowing how much of the population is living in that area and following their migration patterns.

I think the biggest complication would be all the factors that go into that species. It would be hard to consider all the factors including habitat and food.

Not entirely sure how to go about figuring out the range of a species but the change in species population could make it difficult

migration patterns and that they can be spread out over a large area

Sometimes the the range can vary between each individual animal. Sometimes the range can vary because of food or foliage distribution.

The most difficult complication in mapping is species forced to move to new environments by outside forces

behavioral patterns like migration or hibernation type activities

Migration and global warming can make them move around and have to adapt to other places.

The biggest complication in determining the range of a particular species and mapping it out is that animals are constantly moving. Especially when the species is smaller and hard to see and not knowing every habitat that they can adapt to.

That the animals are constantly moving.

Animals don’t stay in the same place all the time so their range is always changing.

While animals typically have home ranges, they are vastly different in size. It has to do with migration and also population of groups.

Migratory patterns and unexpected weather could make it difficult to map a species out.

They move around a lot and can hide or be hard to pick out from a group

unclear boundaries or species that move around too much

migration can change where they are at and how big their range is at different times of year.
Hoover

Animals move around continuously and it also depends on the time of year and where they come from
