title: Relationship Between Number of Insects and Habitat Setting at York University

description: This study examines the relationship between the number of insects and it's habitat setting<br>Methods:-Transects were used to measure 25 metres in both woodlot and grassland settings-10 trials were carried out for each habitat, using sweep nets to capture insects-Data was recorded in an Excel spreadsheet and uploaded to FigshareHypothesis:There is a correlation between number of insects and habitat setting.<br>Prediction:There is a correlation between the number of insects and habitat setting due to the amount of flowers present. If there are more flowers present in an area, there will be more insects present as well, as flowers provide many benefits such as protection.<br>Metadata:-In the grassland setting, the transect was placed in an area with an abundance of plants-In the woodlot setting, the transect was placed in an area with few plants-One individual was responsible for capturing the insects using the sweep nets for each habitat setting-One individual was responsible for counting the amount of insects captured and the different number of species -Number of insects: The total number of insects present in the sweep net-Number of insect species: The different number of insect species present in the sweep net

description: Hypothesis: The abundance of birds within the woodlot would be greater than the amount found in the grassland and the amount of species and frequency of species will vary in the different environments. Prediction: The number of birds found within the woodlot will be greater than that found in the grasslands since many birds live within the trees. The environment may also affect where certain bird species live and the frequency of the species considering that certain species may live in one environment more than another. Methods: 1. 1. A transect measuring five meters was placed in both the woodlot and grassland found in the York University grasslands and woodlots and was observed for five minutes, from 3:30 pm to 4:20 pm, for every transect. The conditions were slightly cloudy and warm at a temperature of 22<sup>º</sup> and a Beaufort scale of 4. 2. 2. The abundance of birds, number of bird species and the frequency of each species was counted from the transect. Meta-data: Abundance of birds: amount of birds observed in five minutes for each transect and the data is continuous Number of Bird Species: amount of bird species observed in five minutes for each transect and the data is continuous Frequency of Species: the number of times each species is observed in five minutes for each transect and the data is continuous

description: <b>Time:</b> Tuesday, September 27, 2016. 3:25-4:35 EST. <b>Location:</b> The study was conducted on York University, Keele St. and York Blvd. at a Latitude and Longitude of 43.77, -79.49, respectively. <b>Weather condition: </b>Weather was partly cloudy and sunlight was visible in some area in the woodlot and grassland. Temperature was 23˚C and condition was dry. <b>Data column descriptions and variables:</b> Pan trap replicate= 20 plastic bowls with a diameter of 14.5 cm and a depth of 5.5 cm were placed in woodlot and grassland Bowl colour: Categorical and discrete variable which shows the different colours of the bowls: yellow, blue or white. Number of insects: Quantitative and categorical .Number of insects in each bowl was visually recorded and show the total number it’s a continuous variable Taxonomic units per sample(rtus): Quantitative and categorical. the number of different recognizable taxonomic units per pan trap was visually recorded. Categorical variable; a discrete number of RTUs were observed. Rtus=recognizable taxonomic unit Study site: Categorical variable and represents the location of habitat used for this experiment. The options were grassland and woodlot <b>Methods:</b> In Each habitat 10 solo plastic bowl were placed half filled with soup water. Meaning 10 in grassland and 10 in woodlot .The order of placement of bowl were four yellow, three white and three blue color each placed by taking random number of steps away from each bowl. The number of steps was generated using random function on calculator. The pan traps were left for 70 minutes in each habitat. After 70 minutes the number of species and rtus per sample was visually assessed and counted. Then the data was transformed in the excel sheet. <b>Predictions:</b> It was predicted that the most number of insects and taxonomic units will be presented in the lighter color bowl in yellow and then white and less number of insects and taxonomic units in blue bowl. <b>Hypothesis: </b>It was hypothesized that different types of insects are attracted more to the brighter color flowers and plants especially in red color spectrum. Flies eye notice the color yellow more because of its vision development. Also Flowers and plants with brighter color might be more suitable for insects in terms of nutrients for their survival.

description: This experiment examines the total number of insects and total number of species that were present within a quadrat placed in two different habitats. <b>Methods:</b> -The experiment took place on September 27, 2016 at the York University Keele campus from approximately 3:30-4:30 pm in cool and partly cloudy weather conditions. A total of 20 quadrat samples were taken – 10 from the grasslands and 10 from the woodlots. -A single quadrat was used for the experiment. Beginning in the grasslands, the quadrat was randomly placed and positioned on the ground. The number of insects and number of species occupying the quadrat was carefully counted and recorded. Each count took approximately two minutes until the next quadrat sample was observed. -In total, 10 random samples from the grasslands and 10 random samples from the woodlots were observed and recorded. The time spent in each of the habitats was approximately 30 minutes. -All the data was recorded in a notebook and later copied onto an Excel sheet. The data would then be uploaded to Figshare. <b>Hypothesis:</b> -Habitat will have a direct correlation on the number of insects and number of species defined within each quadrat sample. <b>Predictions:</b> -On average, the number of insects and species will be greater in the grassland quadrats as opposed to the woodlot quadrats. -The grasslands provide a greater abundance of sunlight and plant diversity, which should attract and provide more resources to various insects and species. <b>Meta-data:</b> -Habitat = The location of the quadrat. The data is qualitative and categorical. -Number of insects = The total number of insects observed within each quadrat. The data is quantitative and continuous. -Number of different recognizable taxonomic units = The total number of species observed within each quadrat. The data is quantitative and continuous.

title: Field Study to Determine the Population Density of Insects and Birds in York University's Grasslands

description: Description: A field study was conducted in order to determine the population density of animals; more specifically of insects and birds in the Grasslands of York University. Four different techniques were implemented during this study, which were as follows; the use of a quadrat, sweep net, pan traps, and transacts. The way in which this field study was conducted was by going out into these Grasslands with the proper equipment and counting the number of individuals/species with regards to the tools used. It is hypothesized that there is a positive correlation between the amount of vegetation and or colour and the number of insects observed. As well as, there is a positive correlation between the distance to the water and the number of bird species observed. Meta- Data:The variables that were used in this field study were the qualitative observations of the colour of the pans and the location (closeness to vegetation/water). The way in which this field study was conducted was through the use of the use of a quadrat, sweep net, pan traps, and transacts. The way in which the quadrat technique was implemented, was by throwing it multiple times in different locations and counting the number of insects/species observed each time. The way in which the sweep net technique was implemented, was that it was rotated back and forth along different plant species and the number of individuals/species were observed. The way in which the pan trap technique was implemented, was by placing plastic bowls of different colours in different locations around the grasslands and pouring soapy water into each bowl (for it to be too slippery for the insects to escape). Following this the number and types of individuals were observed. Finally the way in which the transacts technique was implemented, was that it was placed on the ground and used as a marker of indication as to where the different bird sightings could be observed. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that there is a positive correlation between vegetation and or colour and number of insects spotted, this is because you are more likely to see insects in areas of higher vegetation because that is what they feed on and where they live. As well, you are more likely to observe insects in bowls of brighter colours because a lot of insects are drawn to bright colours; some insects pollinate on brightly coloured plants. in addition, there is also a positive correlation between the distance to the water and the number of bird species observed, due to the fact that birds tend to feed near water, so they would most likely be seen near those areas. <br>
