The second reason is because they are easy to monitor and count.  Also when you approach them they don't fly away.]]> 2018-02-14 23:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/ooh142zhcgn8/wish/231749581 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/ooh142zhcgn8/wish/232150569 What are some of the steps in the process of collecting data? Add sufficient detail.  First they get a helicopter to fly over a colonies of Adelie penguins.  Then they get a photographer to take photos of the colonies from the open paratroop doors.  Then they scan the images on a special computer software which helps them estimate the number of breeding pairs.  Then a team spot checks it.  That then enables them to correct the photographic data and gets us as close as we can to an accurate penguin count.]]> 2018-02-15 20:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/ooh142zhcgn8/wish/232150569 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/ooh142zhcgn8/wish/232158274 What were some of the results from the data - use the ‘interpreting data’ section.  Some of the results were that they can now study how many births a year, deaths per year, changes in birds behaviour, and how far they go to hunt and how far they dive to get it.]]> 2018-02-15 21:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/ooh142zhcgn8/wish/232158274 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/ooh142zhcgn8/wish/232164817 What unexpected information was revealed from the study?  Again, give details.  The unexpected information was the large population growth in the Ross Sea Adelie colonies since 2000.  In the Antarctic Peninsula region Adelie Penguins have been declining but the colonies in the southern Ross Sea has experienced a larger than expected population growth.]]> 2018-02-15 21:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/ooh142zhcgn8/wish/232164817 tkuiti https://padlet.com/tkuiti/ooh142zhcgn8/wish/232168035 Reflect on the answers you have given.  Are they short and direct?  Are they longer with additional information?  My answers are long with additional information.  At this level, we are expecting high quality answers and effort.]]> 2018-02-15 21:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tkuiti/ooh142zhcgn8/wish/232168035
