EXAMPLE OF A SUCCINCTLY WRITTEN RESULTS SECTION
"Red-efts demonstrated a significantly higher tolerance to water loss as well as a significantly higher rate of evaporative water loss (Table 1). In both forms, rate of evaporative water loss (EWL) was negatively correlated with initial mass, although ANCOVA revealed a significant difference (F=8.92; 1, 53 df; P<0.004) in the nature of this relationship (Fig. 1)."
HOW
TO CITE FIGURES AND TABLES IN THE RESULTS SECTION
Good examples:
"Species richness increased after flooding occurred (Fig. 1)."
