Principles for Environmental Studies Be able to state the question you are asking concisely. Your results will be as coherent as your initial conception of the problem Take replicate samples within each combination of time, location and other controlled variable. Differences among can only be demonstrated by comparisons to differences within. Take an equal number of randomly allocated samples for each combination of controlled variables. Taking samples in “representative” or “typical” areas is not random sampling.

Principles for Environmental Studies -2 To test whether a condition has an effect, collect samples both where the condition is present and where it is absent but all else is the same. An effect can only be demonstrated by comparison with a control. Verify that your sampling method is sampling the population you think your are, with equal and adequate efficiency over the entire range of conditions to be encountered. Variation in efficiency among areas biases comparisons.

Principles for Environmental Studies-3 If the study area has large heterogeneities, break the area into homogeneous sub areas and allocate samples to each in proportion to the size of the sub area. Verify that your sample unit size is appropriate to the sizes, densities and spatial distributions of the organisms you are sampling. Then estimate the number of replicate samples required to obtain the precision you want.

Data Dredging Hypotheses must be specified in advance of searching the available literature. Using only the data sets that agree with your hypothesis or that look “interesting” are biased approaches and should not be used.

Manipulative Experiment

Pitfalls in Manipulative Ecological Experimentation Artifacts (cage effects)- e.g., increased larval settlement inside predator exclusion cages Pseudoreplication- occurs when replicates are not independent or when no replication exists Changes in controls- can occur due to natural variability
