2. Is this study an experimental study (hypothesis-driven) or a descriptive/exploratory study (one or two-word answer)? If both or neither – explain (max 50 characters) [ /1pt]

3. If experimental - what is the null hypothesis being tested? If descriptive/exploratory - what relationship is being described/explored. If multiple hypotheses tested or multiple relationships described – list one that relates to your evolutionary concept (400 characters max) [ /2pts]

4. What species is/are being studied? – list the species common name and in binomial nomenclature. If more than three – briefly describe the taxonomic group(s) being studied. (100 characters max) [/ 1pt]

5. Briefly describe the methods of the study (point form)– think about the study technique or experimental design used to study the evolutionary concept. If the study contains multiple experiments/observations – describe the one(s) that relate most to the concept you chose. (800 characters max) [ /4pts]

6. List one conclusion the authors discuss. How does this relate to the evolutionary concept you chose? (400 characters max) [/2pts]
