They put all of their data into bar graphs to show the number of individuals and the variable that was tested.\u00a0 Their results concluded that there were a higher number of species at the locations that were further away from the sewage pipes.\u00a0 There was more variability.\u00a0 This experiment used scuba divers which is extremely helpful.\u00a0 However, this experiment used destructive techniques that ruined the sites.\u00a0 This is not the way that scientists should work.\u00a0 They were all extremely intelligent, but I do not approve on the harm that they caused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terlizzi, A., Scuderi, D., Fraschetti, S., &amp; Anderson, M.
