Summary Introduction

To design: A study to determine whether two groups of mice living on the opposite sides of the river belong to the same species.

Concept introduction: Maximum studies in biodiversity involve field studies than lab studies, as it includes studies involving habitat fragmentation, demographic changes, mortality, fecundity, and many more. Therefore, best results will be obtained only when those studies are done on field. When animal studies are conducted where more than two species are to be studied, their phenotypic characters are taken for studies to differentiate species initially.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Mice captured from one field study and taken to lab will affect the experimental design for the field study or not.

a) Does the data support your hypothesis?  b) How could you improve this experiment? Consider the other factors you could have / should have controlled in this experiment.
Suppose you want to examine the effect of a fertilizer on the size of eggplant produced, and therefore, you need to establish the experimental and control groups. A. What could represent the control group?  B. What will be your experimental group? C. What will be the best way to establish a relationship between your two variables?
Consider that you are a civilian resident living on the Chatham Island in New Zealand where a long-finned pilot whale stranding event with 100 beached whales is happening and maybe have even been participating in the response to the strandings. Raise specific questions that you may have for the local government or researchers about the stranding. Argue for an alternate hypothesis as to why the event occurred. Use and fully cite in-text peer-reviewed journals and government organizations, to support all data. Then, provide a full reference section at the end to list all the sources used
