This project is designed to guide you through the process of conducting ecological research. The main goals of the project are to:
 Develop and revise a working hypothesis through detailed field observations
 Design and implement a field experiment to collect data and test that hypothesis
 Place your experiment into a larger theoretical context by evaluating your findings in light of existing peer-reviewed literature
 Preparing a scientific report
The project will span the length of the course.
