Biological themed mapping. We've discussed mapping emotions, places, things, people, but haven't really touched on time and scientific uses of maps. Population densities, development of a species, and movement across environments. I wandered around the Grande Gallerie d'Evolution this morning, along with countless screaming school children, and found interesting maps and images: the branched or structured split of Kingdoms and Phylum (etc), location of animal species, and the extinction of those species over time. These types of maps deal more with time than they do space. One of the pictures below is of a tree trunk slice showing the rings of over a few hundred of years, and placed over that, on glass, are species of animals wiped out of existence throughout the tree's lifetime.
There was also a menagerie covering half the property with some wallabies bouncing around where I could see them without paying another fee. Combined some quick sketches with other found drawings that I thought resembled population dots or migrations paths.
BY the way, that last post by "rosem" is actually by Rachael S. Whoops!
