Controls and additive series
2
Group exercise: Read your stream control example, and decide on: (1) What is wrong with the design? (2) How you might fix it.
3
Scenario 1 A B C A B C Before After
4
Scenario 2 A BC D EF + pollutant - pollutant
5
What is the probability that the 3 “worst” streams are randomly assigned to the pollutant treatment? 3/6 * 2/5 * 1/4 = 2/40 or 5%
6
Scenario 3 A BC A BC BeforeAfter D EF D EF Before After + chemical in alkaline solution control
7
Scenario 4 A BC A BC BeforeAfter D EF D EF Before After + pollutant control
9
Scenario 5 ?
10
Insect abundance = m1 * width + m2 * dioxin + m3 * width*dioxin + Y-intercept (and error)
11
Summary of control types Which scenarios lacked: Control for initial conditions? Unmanipulated, contemporaneous control? Control for side effect of manipulation? Control for covariates? Control for non-target response?
12
BACI design Unmanipulated, contemporaneous control Initial conditions Eg. Scenario 3 BeforeAfter Before After + pollutant control Before After Control Impact
13
BACI design Unmanipulated, contemporaneous control Initial conditions BeforeAfter + pollutant control Before After Control Impact

How can we analyze BACI designs? Randomized block? What is n? What is k? How many independent experimental units in total? A treatment x date ANOVA? BeforeAfter Before After + pollutant control ABCABC DEFDEF

19
How can we analyze BACI designs? Two separate ANOVAs / t-tests? BeforeAfter Before After + pollutant control Different?
20
How can we analyze BACI designs? Two separate ANOVAs / t-tests? ABC before after Y variable before after Impact sites
21
How can we analyze BACI designs? Need to have match the number of datapoints with the number of experimental units Need to take advantage of built-in control for stream identity
22
How can we analyze BACI designs? One solution: Use difference between before and after as the data! BeforeAfter Before After + pollutant control ABCABC DEFDEF Difference ABC DEF

Example: Additive series design for container mosquito larvae
24
1985 1996 Aedes albopictus invades N America from SE Asia in 1985, via used tire trade at Houston
25
Breeds in containers habitats (old tires, treeholes), like native species, Aedes aegypti Aedes albopictus
26
Ranges overlap, potential for interspecific competition
27
Experimental design (“Additive series”) Juliano, S. 1998. Species introduction and replacement amongst mosquitoes: interspecific resource competition or apparent competition? Ecology 79: 255-268. Aedes aegypti Aedes albopictus Substitutive or replacement series
28
Experimental design (Additive series) Juliano, S. 1998. Species introduction and replacement amongst mosquitoes: interspecific resource competition or apparent competition? Ecology 79: 255- 268. Aedes aegypti Aedes albopictus Addition design
29
Experimental design Juliano, S. 1998. Species introduction and replacement amongst mosquitoes: interspecific resource competition or apparent competition? Ecology 79: 255- 268. Aedes aegypti Aedes albopictus Can asses Aedes aegypti performance in these treatments
