+This module is for researchers interested in modeling how species disperse, go extinct
+and speciate over geological time. It includes examples for how to use biogeographic
+models to reconstruct ancestral species ranges, test relationships between regional
+features and biogeographic rates, and use paleogeographic information to time-calibrate
+phylogenetic divergence times. Biogeographic models explored are Dispersal-Extinction-Cladogenesis (DEC),
+Geographic State-dependent Speciation Extinction (GeoSSE), and Feature-Informed GeoSSE (FIG) models.
+
+- Pre-requisites: **RevBayes fundamentals**, **Molecular phylogenetic analysis**, and **Background on state-dependent diversification-rate estimation**.
