Today we discussed how to a) record data during an ecological visit and b) how to present the data in a meaningful way.
The key things that we look for are:
a map- showing where the samples came from, this can give an idea of some of the biotic and abiotic factors that are in operation.
Clearly indicated transect numbers, listing the species and how many.
This can then be used to create a kite diagram.
The kite diagram shows how a species changes as the position along a transect changes.
I gave out (made up) data and a sheet of graph paper. The first part of the homework (due Friday) is to draw a kite diagram for the sample data.
The second part of the homework is to watch a video and answer the questions at:
