Exercises

Exercise 1: Predicting Range Shifts

Purpose: Understand how species respond to climate zone changes.

  • Methods: Use the time slider and temperature shift toggle
  • Data Gathering: Note latitudinal/longitudinal species positions over time
  • Data Analysis: Plot range centroids over time
  • Visualization: Use built-in map export
  • Conclusion: Determine thresholds for extinction or adaptation

Suggestions for Further Research

Explore interspecies interactions, altitude vs latitude migration, and dispersal limits.
