A large SD meansthere is a lot of variation around the mean, while a small SD means the data points all fall veryclose to the mean. Standard error (SE) is SD divided by the square root of the sample size (N),and tells us how confident we are in our estimate of the mean.

After noticing this pattem shewanted to find out why this variation incolor existed. Becky came up with twopossible explanations.

One way to study this question is to lookat a single species that has individuals of different colors.'sajew pege ag pasn ag ueɔ kaui sepeds JaunoC7vearclearBecky had to design an experiment that could tease apart whether genes, plasticity, orboth were responsible for male anal fin color. She did this by collecting male and femaleish from the two habitat types, breeding them, and raising their offspring in clear orbrown water. f a father's genes are responsible for anal fin color in their sons, thenfathers from swamps would be more ikely to leave behind blue sons. If environmentalconditions detemine the color of sons, then sons raised in brown water will be blue,regardless of the population origin of their father.Wakula11Wakuladetermine color.J susuepew og JanOoun og pasn ag ueo uogeuBA SILenyeWakullaThe bluefin kilifsh is a freshwater species that is foundmostly in Florida. They are found in two main habitats,springs and swamps. An intriguing aspect of this species isthat male bluefin killifish are brightly colored with manydifferent color pattems. The brightest part of the fish is theanal fin, which is found on the bottom of the fish bySome males have red anal fins, some have yellow anal fins, and others have blue analfins.
