HYPOTHESIS (H1): The abundance of flattened mayfly nymphs will increase as light intensity increases. NULL HYPOTHESIS (H0): There is no correlation between the abundance of flattened mayfly nymphs and light intensity. 'The binomial nomenclature is the formal system for naming specific species.' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_nomenclature). The name is in Latin and consists of two parts: a generic name and a specific name.
