Module part 1: using online resources, mapping, and statistics in R to understand movement. In the first part of the module, students examine elevational range shifts among Yosemite chipmunks. They use Animal Diversity Web to gather basic information about the focal species, such as which habitats they prefer (a), after which they use an R script provided in the module to map historic and contemporary museum specimen localities (b T. speciosus) and to quantitatively examine the elevational shifts that have occurred over the past century (c). Actual module output generated by students is shown in (b, c)
