I didn’t have too much trouble implementing my design, however it was maybe too simple. The data ended up being quite difficult to analyse and if I had larger sample sizes, there may have been a more apparent trend. This is the first research project I’ve carried out on my own, so that was much harder than I expected since I had no one to bounce ideas off of as I saw how things played out. The more I learn, the more complicated ecological theory becomes. I am eager to keep working in this field and to continue learning how to design effective and efficient experiments.
