Ecoprojects example:
Nucella lapillus (Dogwhelk) morphology : wave exposure

Results:

30 Dogwhelks were selected using a 0.5m x 0.5m quadrat placed by random walking in the mid to lower shore (boundary of F.serratus and F.vesiculosus) area of two shores of different wave exposure. The shell length, shell width and aperture length were measured using calipers and the shell thickness measured at the mid -point of the aperture using a micrometer

Summary results

Calculate ratios, means, standard deviation and standard error for each sample
