Smartie Lab Research

Smartie Lab Analysis The radical argona of my ecosystem was six feet, but the area we sampled was four feet. We had six types of separately smartie 4 green, 5 orange, 10 purple, 7 red, 5 white, and 14 yellowish. In our sampled area we had 3 green, 0 orange, 5 purple, 2 red, 0 white, and 7 yellow. We had 4. 25 organisms per total area that was the density. Our relative density was 8. 88% green, 11. 11% orange, 22. 22% purple, 15. 55% red, 11. 11% white, and 3. 45% yellow. The frequency of each organism was 75% green, 0% orange, 50% purple, 25% red, 0% white, and 75% yellow.The relative frequency of each organism was 33% green, 0% orange, 22% purple, 11% red, 0% white, and 33% green. The coverage of each type of organism was 18. 83%. The importance cheer of each organism was 34. 24 for green, 9. 98 for orange, 30. 35 for purple, 19. 79 for red, 9. 98 for white, and 32. 43 for yellow. The rank of my organisms importance from highest to lowest is green, yellow, purple, red, thusly white and orange. My population estimate for part II is 11. 66 yellow smarties. My % error for population estimate is 16. 71%.We used a parenthood transect for this lab, and I remember most of these calculations could be to a greater extent applied to plants, since they are stationary and do not move, like smarties, which do not move. This is more difficult to compare to animals since animals move, and whitethorn react to being captured and recaptured. Conclusion The results of my exemplar show that around 12 yellow smarties belong to my population of smarties. However, we genuinely had 14. The results were pretty close, and this demonstrates that the capture and recapture system is a pretty fair to middling system in obtaining population estimates.However it is important to keep in header that smarties are not stationary and cannot react to being captured in shipway that animals and some plants can. The importance values between my transect and my actual data are pretty clos e, however in actuality yellow was the most important, not green. A quadrat would be more advantageous over a transect in situations where in that location are more types of organisms, or the organism can move. I think there can be issues with marking organisms after capture, since the organism may react to being capture and seriously make a struggle on the population estimate, leading observers to obtaining incorrect data.Suggestions for further investigations I would swop this lab to including more exact numbers for smarties, so that percentages could come place more clean and would be easier to add and divide and such. I would in addition use multiple trials, with different bags of smarties, and with different transects to have more encompassing data. I would use different manakins of transects, as well as a quadrat to see what kinds of results those give me too. Finally, I would compare all the results from each kind of trial and average them out.
