Results
The original figure and replicated figure have many differences. The most apparent difference is the amount of photos making up each figure. The original figure consists of three photos while the replicated figure only consists of two photos. The replicated figure doesn’t include an interspecific interaction, additionally there is no arrows in the photo depicting an interspecific interaction. The replicated figure is also missing a photo of the dog by itself. The black outline of photos were different between the figures but consistent within. The map of campus where the observation took place was marked with a circle in the original figure and with an oval in the replicated figure, additionally the map was located on different sides of the original and replicated figures. The campus map is cropped on the replicate figure but not the original.
Discussion
The most major difference between figures (an absence of a photo in the replicate) was most likely due to the fact that the person observing the interspecific interaction was not able to observe the interspecific interaction. This would also account for an absence of arrows highlighting both species involved in the interaction. The black outline of the photos may be different because different editing softwares were used, this would also account for the orange circle being different on marking of the campus map. The campus map being cropped on the replicate but not on the original may be because the software used for making the replicate only allowed for a smaller image file.
