Observation paragraph

      There were 8 differences between the original and replicate figures that I noted. 1: The plant that was the subject of the original study was a garden nasturtium. The Replicate study was done using a long leaf plant that I cannot identify. 2: The scale image sizes were taken at different focal positions. This makes the replicate image have less detail than the original. 3: The central map position was not alike in the two figures. 4: The original was a broader scope and the replicate was much narrower and did not have the same center. 5: The figures were identified with lowercase letters in the original however the replicate used uppercase. The 6: The order of the figures was not the same. The original “a” was the full plant picture, “b” was the close-up showing the leafminer activity accompanied by a dollar bill for scale reference, and “c” was the map of the location that the study was conducted. The replicate “A” was the close-up with the dollar bill used for scale, “B” was the full plant photo, and “C” was the map of the study location. 7: The color and direction of the arrow pointing to the subject area were of different size, color and orientation. 8: Font sizes were different on the image labels. The original used a smaller (40) font and the replicate had approximately a 60. Although these studies were done on different plants I think the overall project was a success at documenting leafminer activity on the UMass campus.
