The samples are at the Lab!
Some questions: Looking at these sampling locations… Did all of the streams and creeks look the same? If not, which ones did look similar and which ones did not? Did all of the locations look the same above and below the culvert? If not, which ones did look the same and which ones did not? Remember back to sampling… Did the water your sample came from look the same above and below the culvert? Was either sample clear? Was either sample murky (so that it was hard to find the macroinvertebrates? Was the water moving at the same rate above and below your culvert? How would any of these observations (looking different or the same, observed water quality, flow rate) change the macroinvertebrate community?
