After a major flood, a stream channel was scoured and much of the insect community was washed away. Scientists counted aquatic insect families (a measure of richness) at one site each month. Aquatic insect family richness:
  • Before flood: 19
  • 1 month after: 5
  • 3 months after: 11
  • 6 months after: 16
  • 12 months after: 18
Based on these data, about how long did it take for richness to return close to its pre-flood level?
