Problem:
I'm doing a research proposal and I really need help with first part of my work. You need to follow everything (no AI whatsoever otherwise instant thumps down). I just need help from someone who genuinely can help and it's not super complicated. I provided everything. Also, any sort of references must be citied with APA format absolutely. No reference no point helping me.
It's about an invasive species European green crab and my research question is "How does eelgrass shoot density affect the efficiency of the Fukui trap when targeting European green crabs?" Need Assignment Help?
Topic: Invasive species: European green crab (Carcinus maenas)
Research Question: How does eelgrass shoot density affect the efficiency of the Fukui trap when targeting European green crabs
I am making a research proposal and I need help with the first part of my assignment.
1. Title .page (1 .page)
2. Literature Review including research question, named hypothesis, and prediction (up to 2 .pages) (Literature Review which concludes with: Research Question, Named hypothesis (name based on the mechanism), and Prediction.)
Your Research Proposal should first address the current state of knowledge on your invasive focal species, their current or potential ecological impact on a native Canadian species and identify a knowledge gap. This must be presented as a short Literature Review. A literature review comprehensively examines and most importantly, synthesizes existing research and scholarly articles relevant to a specific topic. By critically analyzing and organizing the current body of literature, a literature review helps researchers contextualize gaps in knowledge, explain their work, and contribute to advancing scientific understanding by building upon existing literature.
Your literature review must clearly explain the relevant ecological background of your knowns and unknowns that have lead you to develop an explicitly stated, clear goal or research question for your Research Proposal.
Literature Review, Research Question, Hypothesis, and Prediction
Literature review summary is clear and well-synthesized with excellent use of references. Ecological knowns and unknowns about the invasive species are clearly and concisely described in the Canadian context. Logical statement or question that expresses an ecological uncertainty about the invasive species. Hypothesis is named, follows logically from the research question, has a clear cause-effect mechanism, and makes good use of reference(s) to support it.
Prediction is logical, worded correctly with directionality in it's clear, measurable independent and dependent variables. It explicitly references Figure 1.
