What aspects of anuran life history have influenced the evolution of their skeletal
You will address the question, âWhat aspects of anuran life history have influenced the evolution of their skeletal morphologies?â by devising and testing your own hypothesis using the data that you collected as part
of Lab 7.
Detailed, step-by-step instructions are included in the document linked at the bottom of this page.
Your hypothesis and study will address only one small component of the broad question listed above, but your report should address how your study fits into the larger concept of the evolution of skeletal morphologies.
You will be writing the report individually, but using the hypothesis and data you collected as a group during lab.
This first draft of the report will include the Introduction, Methods, and Results sections, but not the Discussion
section.
Introduction: Synthesize the relevant literature to the study that you are performing. The synthesis should be organized by theme. Start broad, and throughout the synthesis get more and more narrow, until youâve
narrowed down to the specific theme that your research is focused on. You must reference at least eight (8) peer-reviewed journal articles in this section.
Methods: Describe how you collected your data and tested your hypotheses, including how you handled data

and-other-formation-stimulation-technologies-shale-gas-0) This method is now widely used world-wild, ensuring the US and Canada to have constant gas supply for 100 years and has presented an opportunity to generate electricity at half the CO2 emissions of coal. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14432401) Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is another method used to open up large deposits below the surface and produce heavy crude oil and bitumen. It is an advanced form of steam stimulation in which a pair of horizontal wells are drilled into the oil reservoir, one a few meters above the other. High-pressure steam is continuously injected into the upper wellbore to heat the oil and reduce its viscosity, causing the heated oil to drain into the lower wellbore, where it is pumped out. Similar to fracking, SAGD consumes large quantities of water and natural gas â 20 times more than conventional oil drilling, which makes it very expensive to operate. A possible alternative would be cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) and high-pressure cyclic steam stimulation (HPCSS).

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), there are about 30% of the worldâs undiscovered gas and 13% of the worldâs undiscovered oil may be found in the Arctic Circle. The recent retreat of polar ice makes petroleum exploration and development much easier. Petroleum is highly associated with sedimentary rocks. The map provided the basis for defining assessment units (AUs), which are mappable volumes of sedimentary rocks that share similar geological properties. The Circum-Arctic Resource Appraisal (CARA) defined 69 AUs, each containing more than 3 km of sedimentary strata, the probable minimum thickness necessary to bury source rocks sufficiently to generate significant oil and gas.>
