Question

Draw a species accumulation curve for the beetles in Area C3, based on the data shown in Table 2. Ensure that you calculate a standard deviation around each average number of species per sample; plot this on this figure. Make sure you label the axes and that you provide a legend.

You will need to reassemble the samples in all possible combinations in order to derive the species area curve.(porvided the table)
