Reminders for First Research Write up:
FIRST Write-up Spring2026 (Gosh there are a lot of details here….!)
Examples of useful papers for First Research Write up:
- Morse and Schmitt (1985)(a useful classic paper for fruit/seed dispersal-although a bit old) Do feel free to cite this in your paper!
- Sipe and Linnerooth 1995 (also a bit old but still a good one) Do feel free to cite this in your paper!
Hint if you go to Google Scholar or the other library data bases and insert the following key terms you should fine some newer articles too- “seed size wind dispersal distance”
- Trump 2016 (This is for when you need a bit of a break.)
