Lab exercise. - herbarium laboratory, Population Lab
Keaton returned his attention to complete the herbarium laboratory he started in May. Removing the pages from the plant press, he reordered his specimens to create representations of simple/complex leaf samples and parallel, palmate, and netted venation patterns. He created labels and mounted his specimens. This done, Keaton turned his attention to the lab he designed last week. He reviewed his lab report, methods and materials he will need to conduct his experiment. He created field data sheets to carry into the field, and prepared a container of distilled water to use on the boat to clean the equipment between tests. We also reviewed the mark-recapture study outlined in the text. Keton will assist with such a study tomorrow. He will also be testing his salinity test process tomorrow during the field laboratory trip.
