Answer:

Its conclusion is flawed because in a scientific investigation it is necessary to carry out the experimentation in a significant sample of hermit crabs. In this case Laurita and Trey only considered 2 crabs whose behavior may be determined by other factors, so it is necessary to increase the study sample .

A subset of the population is called a "sample," and therefore must be representative of it. In general, when a sample is estimated, the population size must be taken into consideration.  Very large populations will require large samples for their representativeness, and small populations will require smaller samples.

What are two things that can be done to maximize the chances of recovering parasites from a fecal smear?
RideAnS [48]
<span>Sedimentation - uses solutions of lower specific gravity than the organisms, which concentrated in the sediment. This technique is recommended for general diagnostic laboratories because it is easy to perform and less prone to technical errors.

Flotation - this technique uses solutions of higher specific gravity than the parasitic organisms so the organisms float and the debris sinks producing a cleaner material while the disadvantage is that walls of cysts and eggs collapse that may blocking its identification.<span>
