Study design

  1. This project has produced some interesting results that might be interesting to follow up as well as the one proposed in question 6. Suggest another question that you feel could usefully be followed up and prepare a project proposal to tackle this question.
  2. Design data recording sheets for the project you have proposed in one of questions 5, 6 or 7 and write down your recommendations for data security.

  3. Other species of snails were also collected (see CS14Data1). Summarise effects of season and altitude for each of these species. Do they show the same trends with water velocity or pH as Biomphalaria species? If not, suggest from a biological point of view why not.

  4. Describe in layman's terms the meaning of the word 'odds'– see Appendix.
