PLEASE HELP 2O POINTS 1. Why is the quadrat method useful for estimating snail populations? Do you think it would work for fish populations?
2. Why do researchers need a lot of data to monitor a species population? What trends can you see in the data that you would have missed otherwise?
3. Which snail species had a higher population in part one? What adaptations aided in their survival?
4. Which shell adaptation did you choose for part two and why? Discuss the results and the effectiveness of the adaptation.
5. The intertidal zone can be a difficult place to live. Looking at your data, how did the tide affect each species of snail?
