A possible explanation for the discrepancies between figures 1A and 2A could be that the replicated photo was taken of a different bloom on the tree. This could have happened because there was a lack of explicit detail explaining exactly which bloom was photographed in the original figure. Additionally, the angle was not specified in the methods whether is was to the right or left side of the ceiling of the conservatory, which could have helped in taking a more exact photo of the bloom. Figures 1B and 2B do not appear to be much different from one another. There are slight discrepancies between the amount of leaves captured at the top of the tree, but many of the factors that could have resulted in major differences in the figure were controlled by the limited angle options due to the corner placement of the tree. Differences between figures 1C and 2C can be explained by the insufficient explanation of how to create state borders on the figure map website. The default world map setting does not include state borders, so a box must be checked in order for the borders to be seen. With this box checked, each individual state can be highlighted and Florida can be colored in.These directions were not explicit in the methods section, and this step was missed in the execution of the map making for the replicate figure. Additionally, the type of font was not detailed in the methods, resulting in a different font used to label the figures on the replicate.
