Document Summary
How to go about creating a research proposal. Females tend to spend more time on offspring. Males tend to spend more time on offspring female-female competition. What research question do you propose to address: ex: if female spotted sandpipers have more ornamented plumage than males, then does. Predictions: what specific findings would support your hypothesis: very specific, ex: females will have more, larger and more circular spots. Spottiness will correlate with health and reproductive success (in females) How will you test your research question: study site, lab study, field work, steps should be reproducible by someone else. Discussion: interpret expected results in context you provided in the intro. How might your study advance scientific knowledge and understanding in the field of animal. Formatting and references see research proposal description and rubric talk with your librarian. Study systems: stuck with species that are in hp. Given 4 species to choose from: grey squirrel, spider lady bug, bird.
