What does the data suggest? What does anova P = .45 means? Could you explain the above details in this context Context - The study aims to test the role of priority effects in fruit fly communities. I tested whether the timing of one species arriving at a particular site causes any alteration to the environment, making it more or less desirable for a second species to come.
You've been out in the field collecting data on the predation of holly leaves. You collect 200 leaves in total of which 100 leaves contain one mine, 20 leaves contain 2 mines and 30 leaves contain 3 mines. After close examination with your hand lens and dissecting microscope you categorize a total of 15 mines with round holes, 9 mines that were torn open and 27 mines with an irregular hole. After some basic analyses you conclude that the predation rates by blue tits and wasps are: A. 3.7% and 6.5% B. 6% and 10% C. 10% and 6% D. 4% and 6.5%
What is the main difference between dispersal and vicariance? a. One leads to allopatric speciation, whereas the other leads to sympatric speciation. b. One involves the movement of the organism, whereas the other involves a change in the environment. c. One depends on a genetic mutation occurring, whereas the other does not. d. One involves closely related organisms, whereas the other involves only individuals of the same species.

Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is unexplained loss of entire bee colonies that has been occurring in increased numbers across the world. The cause of the disorder is unknown, although it has been suggested that pesticides may play a role. To study this phenomenon, 300 bee colonies at 20 different sites across the U.S. are analyzed. Colonies are classified as having no CCD symptoms (group 1) or as having CCD symptoms (group 2). Bee pollen is isolated from group 1 and group 2 colonies and analyzed for the presence of pesticides. Significantly higher average pesticide levels being found in group 2 colonies, the conclusion of the study states that increasing pesticides use may be leading to the death of bees and a loss of bee colonies in CCD. Does this study have a control group? If so, what is the control group? If not, why not?
Peppered Moth Experiment Researchers wanted to further test the idea that Peppered Moth populations around London really shifted due to their increased visibility to predators on dark trees. Researchers constructed two sample forest plots, each surrounded by bird-proof netting. In both enclosures they captured ALL the moths and ALL the birds. Trees in each enclosure were stripped of lichens so they ALL had dark bark. The treatments for each enclosure were as follows: Enclosure A: 50 dark-colored moths and 50 light-colored moths were released. Enclosure B: 50 dark-colored moths and 50 light-colored moths were released, plus 10 birds. Proportions of dark and light moths were monitored in each enclosure for 10 years by thorough sampling (sampling did not harm moths). Results for moth populations after 10 years are reported in the chart below. In addition, the bird population in Enclosure B was remained fairly constant over the 10 years and no birds appeared in Enclosure A. Enclosure…
