Measuring Populations: Investigating the Distribution of Daisies with Distance from Trees

The video tutorial presents an experiment conducted by Catherine to investigate how the distribution of daisies in a field varies with distance from a line of trees. The hypothesis is that the density of daisies decreases closer to the trees due to competition for resources. Catherine uses a quadrant and a belt transect method to collect data at regular intervals. The results show an initial increase in daisy density as distance from the trees increases, supporting the hypothesis up to a point. However, beyond 6 meters, the results do not support the hypothesis. The video concludes with a summary of findings and encourages viewers to engage with the accompanying assessments.
