28 January 2020. Completion of Origin of Species lecture. Today we will conduct and online virtual lab investigating the differences between stickleback fish. Data will be gathered using the link below and chi-squared statistical analyses will be performed to determine whether or not the data is significant and give a relative indication of how close our data sets are to the expected outcomes. PDFs of the chi-squared analysis information and the lab packet can be found below. Video introduction to the lab is embedded below for reference.
