title: Group 4 dataset 3 Wk4

description: This test was done at the grassland at York university, Toronto Canada. The test was done between the hours of 3:30 and 5:30. It was approximately 14 degrees celcius and sunny. The test included taking a sweep net and swinging it for exactly 1 minute in tall grass while walking a straight line guided by a transect laid out 5 meters. the transect was laid out in random spots in the grassland 10 times, once for each repitition. After each repitition of the experiment the net was held closed and the total amount of insects inside, as well as the recognizable taxinomic units of the insects, were counted and recorded. The purpose of this experiment is to see how many insects could be found on the first cold day of the fall season. In order for this dataset to be most useful one must compare this data with that of similar tests done on a warmer day, and colder day, and of similar variables (sunny, clear sky, between the hours of 3:30 and 5:30, same grassland, randomly selected spots) so the results can be compared.

title: WK4: Field sample training with animals

description: Methods: This experiment took place on September 29, 2015 from 3:00-5:00 pm. To execute this experiment, we began by selecting sampling area in both the woodlot and the grasslands on York's campus. Once selecting a sufficient spot, we took 3 bowls of each colour (yellow, white, and blue) and placed them in the woodlot. We then took the other three of each colour and placed them the same way in the grasslands. We decided to use the unmowed section of the grassland instead of the mowed section. Once all of the bowls were placed, we filled them about a quarter of the way to the top with soapy water. The soap in the water was used to reduce surface tension so that the species that landed on the water would not be able to float, but rather they would sink to the bottom and drown. Although snails and spiders are not insects, we decided to count them as a part of our protocol for this experiment. Placing the bowls on the ground in both the woodlot and the unmowed grassland was done in a strategic manner. We used yellow, white, and blue bowls to imitate the colours of flowers in order to aid in attracting pollinators. We decided to place the bowls in a 3x3 formation, with a meter's distance between each bowl. The pattern of the bowl placement was as follows: white, blue, yellow. This was done three times to get the desired 3x3 formation in both the woodlot and grasslands. The bowls were left on the ground for about 2 hours while other experiments were executed. At the end of this time, we went back to the bowls and took note of what insects they had collected.

title: WK 4: Field Sample Training with Animals

description: The experiment was conducted to study the number of various insects found in the grassland area at York University. The data for this experiment was collected on September 29, 2015 from 3:00 pm-3:30 pm. The data was collected by placing a 1 m by 1 m quadrat in 10 random locations in the mowed grass area and again in the tall grass area, for a total of 20 quadrat samples. The locations for the quadrats in both the mowed and tall grass area, were chosen by taking five steps in any direction and placing the quadrat wherever we stopped after the fifth step. Measurements of the number of insects and the number of different recognizable taxonomic units were taken after the quadrats were placed. The number of insects, which represents the total number of insects found inside the quadrat, was measured by doing a quick count of all the insects in the quadrat. The number of different recognizable taxonomic units represents the number of different types of insects found in the quadrat. For this, the insects in the quadrat were differentiated by analyzing their shape, size and colour.

title: The Evolutionary Cost of ‘Re-evolving’ Motility in Pseudomonas fluorescens ΔfleQ mutants

description: The bacterium makes a flagellum and a surfactant, called viscosin. Both enable efficient surface motility on semi-solid agar and over plant roots. FleQis the master regulator of flagella expression. FleQis a bacterial enhancer-binding protein (bEBP) that is necessary to activate the promoter bound to the σ54-RNA polymerase, and consequently allow the hierarchical expression of flagellargenes. Knockout of fleQsuppresses the ability to make a flagellum, but the bacterium can still slowly slide over viscosin. However, the bacterium cannot swim through semi-solid agar. We examined whether the fleQmutant (SBW25Q) can evolve swimming motility by experimental evolution

title: Quadrat data set: observation of insect abundance and density within York University's danby grassland and woodlot

description: Coworkers: Dylan Cairns, Richer Lai, and Felicia Oyedepo. The hypothesis in the experiment is that the grassland habitat on average would have a a greater sum of insects in habitat then the woodlot do to the more coverage of vegetation. The grasslands are covered with grass, cover and weeds when the woodlot is covered with dirt mostly, with little amount of sticks and leaves both located at the York University's danby lots. The sampling consist of a count on insects in both the grassland, and woodlot, they consist of 10 trials per location with a quadrat. They were observed through cooler, windy, damp waether, woodlot was a little dry from the tree coverage up above.

title: Insects in woodlot and grasslands found using a quadrat

description: Our Data was collected on September 29, 2015 at approximatley 3:20pm-3:50pm at the York University Keele campus. It was about 18 degrees C on this afternoon with minimal to no sunlight from cloud coverage, constant precipitation and wind the entire time working there. In the above table, the abbreviation "g" was used for grasslands and "w" was used for woodlot. Myself as well as my group Katie, Adam, Ashley and Ava worked together to collect the above data. We hypothesized that because of the weather conditions we would not be able to find many insects or diversity of insects with mainly finding ants or worms. The experiment comprised of taking the quadrant and placing it in 10 random locations throughout the woodlot and 10 in the grasslands. None of the locations were particularly close to eachother and we tried to pick locations that were different from one another, for example one in the grasslands consisted of short plants and some small flowers while other locations were in the tall grass with bigger plants. Once quadrants were placed, we then would look throughout the entire area of the quadrant and recored the number of insects found, as well as their taxonomic units. This technique was done both in the grasslands and in the woodlot and the total area observed was about 100 by 100 feet. As predicted, there was not a large count of insects found, but there was more variety in insects then originally thought. Many ants were spotted as well as a couple of snails, crickets, spiders, flies, pill bugs,small moths and one worm and one large praying mantus. A total of 72 insects were found between both the Danby woodlot and grasslands.

title: Ecology BIOL 2050 - Lab 3 Sweep net dataset

description: The experiment conducted for this dataset was a sweep net capture of insects and all other surrounding invertebrates in two different specified areas. This was conducted by two group members one did the transect measurement and sweep capture while the second person counted the insects and recorded them. The specified location was adjacent areas within the grassland of York University close to the University pond. The location was divided into a mowed and non-mowed area indicated by whether or not university staff has lawn mowed the area in question. In the mowed area our team measured at 30 feet distance each trial and the target area was always south of the previous trial, 100% on the mowed land, and never overlapping the previous trial area. As for the non-mowed area we began at a random point using 30 feet distance each trial and the target area was always north of the previous trial, 100% on the non-mowed land, and never overlapping the previous trial area. For the mow area the sweep net was lightly brushed back and forth as close to the ground as possible for the distance of the transect tape. For the non-mow area the sweep net was brushed back and forth approximately chest level due to the height of the surrounding plants for the distance of the transect tape. At the end of each sweep the captured specimen were tallied based on the closest common name or scientific classification without using any taxonomy references. All specimens captured in the net were recorded including insects and non-insects. Five trials were done per area with a total of 10 trials. All specimens were released back to the wild after each trial.

title: Ecology Lab Three

description: Authors: Kamil Adamczewski, Joelle Brooker, Brittney Jorisch, and Karin Yosefi On October 1, 2015, between approximately 3:50 and 4:00 pm, ten transects, each 20 metres +/- 2 centimetres long, were laid out in random locations. Five transects were laid in different areas of the Danby woodlots, and five were laid in different areas of the adjacent grasslands. The observer then slowly walked the length of the transect, while gazing upward and noting if any birds were seen flying over any point of the transect. If a bird was spotted, the species was noted if the observer could determine it. If not, the species was labeled as "unknown". As well, the distance at which the bird crossed over the transect was approximately recorded. At the end of each transect walk, the abundance of birds seen was noted. The wind intensity was measured using the Beaufort scale. The purpose of this observation was to determine if there is a relationship between wind intensity, site and abundance/species of birds seen. The observations were conducted at Danby woodlots and the adjacent grasslands, on the north-east side of York University, Keele campus. The temperature was 15 degress Celcius, and it was sunny with no precipitation.
