Blog Post 7: Theoretical Perspectives
Create a blog post where you briefly discuss the theoretical basis of your research project. What ecological processes might your hypothesis touch on? For example, in the buttercup sampling videos, Dr. Baldwin’s research is concerned primarily with reproductive (and evolutionary) fitness, but also relates to pollination. What ideas underpin your research? When you submit a research article for publication, you need to provide several keywords that summarize what your research is about. For example, a paper published from the research described in the wetland sampling videos included depressional wetlands, disturbance gradient, functional groups, and livestock grazing as keywords. Please list three keywords that you could use to describe your research project.
Three keywords I would use are seed dispersal, berry and fruit feeders and light preferences. I would use these keywords because I am assessing the correlation between poison ivy and other fruit growth. The seed dispersal refers to how the poison ivy and fruit got where they are, the berry and fruit feeders functional group refers to who got the seeds there and the light preferences refers to other variables taken into account for poison ivy distribution.
