The populations will not grow and become active for several months, in which time I could have already tested many variables on the choice chamber.So, I am changing plans a little. I will be buying a set of A. Vulgare to run most of the tests. I still intend to find wild-caught individuals as I can in the coming months to work on some breeding projects.The other reason is sample size. I am investigating the best type of statistical analysis to use. Chi squared is poor with small sample sizes, where Fisher's exact test should be used instead. While Chi squared is pretty easy to run, I will need to re-research Fisher's exact test since I cannot even remember how the test is completed. I am worried that I will have difficulty finding more than 10-20 wild caught specimens, while I can buy however many are needed.</blockquote>
