Use the same technique you used in class to find information to answer questions 1 and 6.
Citing sources is optional for these questions, but is recommended. The sources need not be
peer-reviewed journals, but they must be credible, example: textbooks, government websites.

Next, verify if your research notes you have complied for each question: (1) answers the
question adequately, and (2) fits the journal criteria. If not, research further to supplement your
work.
Note that your work will be checked for plagiarism when you submit your full paper.
Hence, please ensure that you have paraphrased all the information in your own words
.
Copy-pasting sentences from publication into your report is considered plagiarism, even if you
cited the original author(s) and placed the sentences between quotes.
3.
Find all the references you plan to cite in Web of Science so you can add them to your reference
list in EndNote web.
4.
Once you have compiled all of the responses into one worksheet, combine all the answers into
paragraphs and integrate them to create a cogent paper. Include all in-text citations where
necessary.
5.
After finalizing all the references in EndNote web, export the reference list in
Ecology
journal
format and place it at the end of your popular article. Be sure to make sure they match up with
the in-text citations.
