The statement that illustrates bias in scientific research is:
An ecologist publishes data funded by a construction company which supports their original hypothesis that an endangered animal's territory is not endangered.
This scenario suggests potential bias due to the conflict of interest arising from the funding source, which may influence the research outcomes to favor the construction company's interests.
