250-300words summary of focused topic

my species is (sea anemones)

Summary of your focused topic

Using the results of your Google Scholar search, write a 250 word summary of your 'focused topic' about your species. It may be helpful to pick the best three papers you found, and write a few notes about what was relevant for each, and then sit down to write your 250 word summary using these notes.

This summary must include a reference for each sentence, citing at least three scientific papers that you found using Google Scholar. At the end of your summary be sure to include a list of all of the references you cited in the text (in other words, a bibliography) that allows me to link the in-text references to this list.

Figure for your focused topic

In addition, include at least one figure from one of the scientific papers that illustrates your focused topic. For example, a figure illustrating mass gain depending on different foraging strategies used by different individuals, or a map of predicted habitat based on oceanographic habitat.  This is a figure that comes directly from one of your sources, NOT one you make yourself.  You can feel free to just take a screen shot of the figure and insert that below your summary but be sure to include a caption and reference (where it came from) for your figure.

What you will submit:

So in summary, for this assignment you will submit:

1. A referenced, 250-word summary of your 'focused topic' that includes references from 3 scientific papers


2. A figure from one of the papers that includes a caption and a reference


3. A reference list or bibliography that includes references in the text and for your figure.
