Summary Introduction
To determine: The rate of evaporative water loss in a population that lives in moist environment and in a population that lives in dry environments.
Introduction: In order to survive an organism must be able to keep a constant osmotic pressure and water balance of their body. Evaporation is one of the key sources of water loss in animals. And to avoid water loss via evaporation animals adapted themselves across various range of ecosystem.

Determine whether these groups of animals are exhibiting the dilution effect.
The brown bears that inhabit the Kodiak islands of Alaska eat a wide variety of foods, including berries, leaves, and insects. One of their main food sources, though, is the salmon that swims upstream to spawn in the fall. Great numbers of bears gather in and ; around the streams to hunt the large schools of traveling salmon. There are so many fish moving upstream in the fall that the bears cannot catch them all.
1)Kodiak bears gathering at streams for the salmon run 2)Salmon moving upstream in large schools
For your summer research project, you decide to repeat Lillian Tuttle’s (2017) experiment testing the effect of lionfish on other fish that are cleaners and clients. You do this new experiment at a new location (Bonaire), but use basically the same experimental approach and BACI design as Tuttle.
a) You do not separate resident and transient clients (as Tuttle did), and below is a graph of your results showing the effect of the treatment on the total density of client fish in the community. Please explain your result. Imagine that you are planning to publish your experiment and that your answer to this question will be part of the “Results” section of your paper. Please do not worry about hypothetical statistical tests; just assume that the obvious patterns displayed in the graph can be interpreted at face value.
