Welcome to Bird Island!
Let’s visualize biodiversity and
analyze it graphically…
Mr. Hefti – Pulaski Biology
Instructions
1. Working with a partner your task is to use the
interactive map of Bird Island to determine which
ecoregion is the most diverse and which bird species
is the most widespread.
2. Start by figuring out how many individuals of each
species inhabit your assigned ecoregion and create a
bar chart reporting your findings. Write a brief
conclusion in the space provided.
3. After we discuss the initial results you will need to
determine the diversity of your assigned species
across ecoregions. Again, create a bar chart that
displays what you found out and report a conclusion.
Instructions
4. Please include a data label at the top of each
column of your bar chart. This will make
comparing results much easier in the end.
- Just write in the total number of individuals!
