Estuarine Crocodile: Biostatistical Analysis

Decent Essays
The majority of the paper with references are extremely relevant. It either includes information about the estuarine crocodile specifically, the geological conditions, or past studies in regards to transportation of marine and semi-marine animals. If the references section is looked at, again, the majority of sources are from scholarly journals or articles. There are a few instances that a book might have been used, such as Crocodiles of Australia or Crocodiles, however upon further research, they were found to be early journal articles. They also referenced a user manual that could be accessed online and a biostatistical analysis article. The larger sum of the references can be considered to be primary sources like the article I chose.

    Compensation is the maintenance of the levels of physiological processes, despite changes in temperature. This experiment was coordinated to determine whether crayfish will show metabolic compensation when acclimated to various temperatures. The findings of this study show that temperature had no effect on crayfish oxygen consumption. The oxygen consumption for both the warm and cold acclimated crayfish was almost the same, despite the opposite direction of the temperature change. The results of this study therefore support the hypothesis.…

    We hypothesized that higher levels of serotonin will have an effect on the crayfish aggression. Our data does not support our hypothesis as there is no significant difference in the aggression scores of the crayfish before the drug treatment (naïve fight) and after (drugged fight). While analyzing the data, we found the presence of winner and loser effect. Other factor such as sex may have influenced our results. However, a t- test revealed that there is no significant impact of sex on the aggression of the crayfish.…

    The Hardy-Weinberg equation is p² + 2pq + q² =1 (Daempfle, 2016). P in the equation equals the proportion of dominant alleles in a population and q equals the proportion of recessive alleles within a population. The homozygous dominant in the equation are given as p². Given this equation and the information from the questions p equal .01 so q would equal .99. The square root of .01 is 0.1.…

    The first website I evaluated was titled Wonderopolis. I would say Wonderopolis is a reliable resource; the reason why I say this is because when you read the “about section”, you can notice right away all the awards and recognitions Wonderopolis has. This proves that it is a trusted and credible website. Wonderopolis was created in October 2010, and is still a functioning website. It does not seem to have a specific audience target but I would assume is mostly used for elementary and middle school.…

Both of these reptiles are members of the reptilian family Crocodylia, however they are from two different families. There are a sum of 25 types of crocodilians (belonging to the Crocodylia family), including these two. Crocodilians date back 260 million years, that’s 65 million years more than the dinosaurs.…
