Description

In this module, students will create maps that show the sampling locations of wild animals and a pathogen using real animal occurrence data from natural history museums. They will then interpret the patterns in the map through a series of guided questions to learn how biogeography shapes species and pathogen distributions.

English and Spanish versions are included. Students will need access to QGIS.
