How are we going to collect data from the movie?
- Repeat viewings/overlapping watch segments
-
Are there databases we can collect data from for this project?
- iNat, GBIF might have occurrence records for some of the species to compare distribution/density
- Fishbase? Dr. Poisot says there is lots of data there but no API
-
Where does Finding Nemo take place?
- Are the species featured accurate for the region?
-
Are the species assemblages accurate in a biogeographical sense?
- e.g. would we ever see a clownfish hanging around a blue tang in the wild?
-
Which species are we surveying for the purposes of this project?
- Only fish? What about marine plants? Invertebrates? Only the characters with speaking roles?
- Maybe we can limit to animals only? I'm not sure, but I think some of the plant species in the film were imaginary or generic
-
What species interactions are observed? Were any missing?
- Consumptive interactions (predation)
- Mutualistic interactions (anenome + clown fish, sharks with the fish?)
- any competition?
- are they as common (?) in the movie as in real coral reef systems?
- traits/behaviours that facilitate these interactions (stinging jelly fish, camoflague?)
-
How accurate are the species portrayals?
- Can image classification AI identify the species correctly (meaning the representations are fairly accurate) iNaturalist has this feature
- are some traits missing/wrong/exaggerated (I'm thinking especially for sharks maybe, were their teeth drawn super huge to make them "scary")
