Crossbills, squirrels and pinecones Teaching Biodiversity with Museum Specimens in an Inquiry-Based Lab	show Compare and contrast a species with a broad range and one with a narrow range. Give an example of an environmental gradient, and explain the changes that one would expect to see from one end of the gradient to the other. Explain how somebody would depict a gradient graphically.
