Essay

Refer to the tables.
Suppose you are researching an ecological community in a new study area. You divide your study area into quadrats and sample one quadrat a day to determine the species that occupy the area and how many individuals of these species are present. Assume that by the end of your sampling efforts, you have identified all of the species that occur in the study area. Use the numbers of individuals from Table 1 and the number of species in Table 2 to graph the relationship between total individuals and total species identified during your sampling efforts (this will be referred to as Figure 1). Graph your data as a line graph.
