Answer 2

Inconsistencies in the data warrant further investigation

Step-by-step explanation:

When you find something new and exciting in your field of study you should always investigate further to see if certain circumstances in the situation led to your findings. If you discover that all of the female amphibians in a pond lay a few days later in the spring and normally this wouldn't happen you should always see if another pond of amphibians lay around the normal time. The water temperature could affect the laying time, the predators that are around could affect laying time, the animals comfort and even that could just be when it happens for them. But double and triple checking is always ideal, so that you are able to publish and share accurate information to help other scientists see and experience what is actually happening.
