2. Find five terms that you do not know the meaning of in the paper. DEFINE these terms
Non parametric statistics: is defined to be a function on a sample that has no dependency on a parameter, and whose interpretation does not depend on the population fitting any parametrized distributions. Statistics based on the ranks of observations are one example of such statistics and these play a central role in many non-parametric approaches.
Stippled Area: is the creation of a pattern simulating varying degrees of solidity or shading by using small dots. Such a pattern may occur in nature and these effects are frequently emulated by artists. The term stipple can also apply to a random pattern of small depressions applied to a surface to increase the friction and make the surface easier to grip.
Hawking: is a feeding strategy in birds which involves catching flying insects in the air. The term usually refers to a technique of sallying out from a perch to snatch an insect and then returning to the same or a different perch. This technique is called “fly catching” and some birds known for it are several families of “flycatchers”, for example Old World flycatchers, Monarch flycatchers, and Tyrant flycatchers.
Allopatric: Occurring in separate, non-overlapping geographic areas. Allopatric populations of related organisms are unable to interbreed because of geographic separation. The development of new species as a result of the geographic separation of populations is called allopatric speciation.
Ornithologists: is a branch of zoology that concerns the study of birds. Several aspects of ornithology differ from related disciplines, due partly to the
