The results would vary between observing a population directly as opposed to observing them indirectly in a way that you will miss some factors, particularly, those observable factors, such as their daily and actual behavior. Hope this answers your question.

Direct observations are made on subjects by recording the behaviours they exhibit in their natural setting. The researcher can either be physically present to record these observations using a camera or can hide to avoid any interference in the data gathering process. Example, watching or recording a bird chirp.

Indirect observation involves recording the traces left by the subject to understand the reason behind the behaviours exhibited by a subject. Example,    observing the distribution of bird droppings to figure out their movement.

Thus, a direct observation will help identify the behaviours in a population and an indirect observation will establish the reason behind the observed behaviours in the population.

Answer:

In addition to depleting resources for forest-dependent communities, deforestation is contributing to an increase in small-scale natural disasters. “That means when there's heavy rainfall, forest soil can absorb water underground and disburse it to streams

Why did Darwin’s observations of Galápagos tortoises cause him to wonder how species originate?
sdas [7]
<span>While at the Galapagos islands, he noticed that animals on the different islands differed. For example, the giant tortoises on one island had saddle-shaped shells, while those on another island had dome-shaped shells. People who lived on the islands could even tell the island a turtle came from by its shell. This started Darwin thinking about the origin of the species. He wondered how each island came to have its own type of tortoise.

Which kind of organism does not generally require oxygen or sunlight to survive
dexar [7]
Anaerobic organisms, those which do not perform the standard 'cellular respiration' or 'photosynthesis', do not require oxygen, nor sunlight to survive. Instead, they survive off of glycolysis which is a process also carried out in aerobic respirators, but it is one that does not <em>require </em>oxygen or sunlight. You can do this by using lactate, sulfate or even alcohol instead of the usual oxygen.
