In conclusion, in this lab, we are trying to find how different beak types influence the amount of seeds they collect and how different seed types influence the amount of seeds the beak collects. My hypothesize is that the largest beak (binder clip) will collect the most amount of seeds because there would be more space. The data doesn’t support/support my hypothesis since the relationship between the variables is inconclusive. For instance, the data shows that the clothespin “beak” from the insula maxima region and the binder clip “beak” from the insula minima region collected the most amount of seeds in their respective regions. Since the most number of seeds isn’t from one specific “beak”, my hypothesis is inconclusive. The results show that in the insula maxima region, the forceps “beaks” collected an average of 8.167 seeds, the binder clip “beaks” collected an average of 27 seeds, the clothespin “beaks” collected an average of 28.5 seeds and the hair clip “beaks” collected an average of 21 seeds. The data shows that the clothespin collected the most averaged number of seeds and collected approximately 3.5 times more seeds than the forceps.
