Ideas for a MSc dissertation's topic??????

[sciurus]

Hi everyone,

I am about to start the final project for my MSc in Ecology and evolutionary biology. I have time till July for the project. I would like to do a project on Coleoptera. One of my ideas was to measure the frequency of sexual dimorphisme in Coleoptera, though the use of literature and spacemen. I sow that the reference are scarce and that there are so many family in that genre that would be impossible to check them all. Does anyone as an idea??? I will be happy to have any suggestion also on other topic, keeping in mind that I have 4 or less months for the development of the project.

What do you mean by final project? Are you writing a Master's thesis? If that's the case, I'm really surprised that with 6 months to go you still don't know what your topic is. The way I'm used to is that people tend to work on some topic for the entire duration of their Master's degree, not in the last 6 months. With so little time it's probably best to chose a much narrower topic so that at least you'd have enough time to study it properly.
