Figure Facts and Experimental Design Outline Name: Paula Bertisan Feel free to discuss the primary research paper with your peers, but you must write and hand in your own assignment. In all cases, write your answers in your own words and create your own drawings. Do not copy sentences or images from the primary research paper (or from your friends!). As a rule of thumb, no more than five consecutive words from the primary research paper should appear in your assignment unless specified. Part 1: Figure Facts In this section, we will examine the primary research paper through an analysis of the introduction and figures. Fill out the table below and keep your responses brief (1 sentence and/or bullet point form is fine.) There is an example in the table below. You must write something about each figure to get credit for this section. Write an Article Citation here: Kergunteuil, Alan, et al. “The Abundance, Diversity, and Metabolic Footprint of Soil Nematodes Is Highest in High Elevation Alpine Grasslands.” Frontiers , Frontiers, 6 July 2016, www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fevo.2016.00084/full . 1
2 Part 1. Read the Abstract and/or Introduction to find the following: Broad Topic: Nematode Diversity across elevation gradients. Specific Topic: How dose nematode diversity and functional group diversity change from low to high elevations in the alps, and how the variations of soil food webs impacted the population of nematodes at differen elevations. What was known prior to this paper: What nematodes are, certain language such as scientific wording like abundance, and population, where the study was taking place. Experimental Question: How does elevation in the Alps affect the nematode community and their functional diversity? Part 2. Interpreting Figures 1,2, and 5: Start by trying to interpret the figures using the information present in the image and figure legends (a really good figure should be interpretable on its own). Then, if that is not useful enough information, look in the text of the Results/Discussion for further explanation, rather than the Methods section, as the Methods may be too technical to be easily understood. (Google/Wikipedia may help!) If, despite your best efforts, you are unable to understand all or part of the figure, write in one or more of the questions you have about that figure/figure panel. Figure Number Panel if any these are sub-figures usually labeled A, B, C Technique: Broad description of methods eg. Determine the impact of sunscreen exposure on aiptasia health These data show: Summary of Explanatory and response variables. eg How many aiptasia survived (response var) when exposed to sunscreen (explanatory) These data mean: Brief statement of the results eg Aiptasia health decreased significantly after sunscreen exposure Panel Technique: These data show: These data mean: Count of Total Number of Nematodes The total number of nematodes per 100 g of dry soil at each elevation transect Total nematode abundance increases with elevation so there are more total nematodes are higher elevations. Fig. 1 (A-C) A- Elevation's impact B-Number of nematodes in all. Ratio of nematophagous fungus infestation A-Nematode counts and elevation comparisons were made. B-Simpsons index in relation to altitude A- According to the data, nematodes multiply as elevation rises, with the Faido and Salgesh forms of nematodes being the most prevalent at higher elevations. B-As the elevation increases, nematodes Since the nematode population rises with height, there are more nematodes at higher elevations. Additionally, the quantity of infected nematophagous fungus decreases with elevation, hence higher elevations have fewer infected nematophagous fungi.
