Description
Summary:Overview: The reproductive success of common murres at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area varies from year to year. Students will learn how researchers monitor seabird populations and explore data to determine how seabird reproductive success is connected to environmental conditions and trophic relationships. Learning Goals: Students will learn the following: • Reproductive success of organisms can vary from year to year. • Long term data collection provides opportunities to record patterns and detect anomalies. • Reproductive success can be connected to environmental conditions.
