1.0 Introduction

Set up the topic with two to three factual paragraphs about island biogeography.

This is academic background explaining biogeography in general then island or insular biogeography, to include a brief history, importance of biodiversity, types of, prior seminal research about, etc. Facts you write here that are not common knowledge must be cited in text and have a matching reference at the bottom in section 4.0. This section will probably have several citations with matching references if done well.

2.0 Data Collection and Analysis

This section outlines how I collected data for this study and presents my analysis of those data.

I used the Virtual Biology Lab Island Biogeography Simulator (Jones et al., 2016) to run five island biogeography variable manipulations with two trials each of avian species. The manipulations were: (1) a baseline with no island manipulation, (2) a distance manipulation of one island and,… ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

I ran two trials on each manipulation for a period of two minutes each. On all trials, except for those in manipulation #5, the migration rate was set at 2 and the mortality rate set at 0.05.

I recorded the data using a preformatted Google Sheet spreadsheet containing cells for… natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo.

2.1 Manipulation 1 – No Manipulation (Baseline)

[Explain exactly what your data were]

My first manipulation consisted of two trials using the island area parameters of Island #1 set at 256 km and Island #2 also set at 256. Similarly, both islands were set at 10 km from the mainland. The mean current number of species on #1 was 9.5 and on #2 was 10, with a difference of 0.5. The average number of species was M* = 9.5 for Island #1 and M = 9.4 for Island #2. The most abundant species for Island #1 was on both trials combined was bird 7 and bird 8; however, on Island #2 it was bird 2 and 6. Finally, the total population after two minutes for Island #1 was M = 33 and M = 42 for Island #2.

[Interpret your data next]

Given these data, when two islands are the same size and distance from the mainland there is little variation in current and average species, and total population. However, there was some variation in the type of species.

*M is the abbreviation for mean, as in mean average. Usually statistical abbreviations are italicized in technical reports.
