title: Pan Trap Sampling Method

description: This lab was done in the Danby Woods at York University on Tuesday, September 29, 2015. The experiment lasted from 2:45 to 5:00 pm. Data was collected from both the grassland and woodland area. The temperature was 18°C and it was lightly raining so the ground was wet and muddy with dark skies. Group members include Katie, Katherine, Adam, Ava and I. The pan trap experiment was placed first at the beginning of the lab and was the last to have the data collected. This was done to ensure that there would be time for insects to enter the bowls. There were 9 bowls for each the grassland and the woodland. The 9 bowls were placed into groups of 3 and each group had one of the 3 different coloured bowls: yellow, blue and white. This was done to see if colour was a factor in influencing insects to enter that bowl. Then the bowls were than filled with soapy water so that the insects that enter the bowls stay in. The groups of bowls were placed randomly in both the grassland and woodland. Within each group the bowls were place next to each other to ensure there was no bias because of location and position. Theses bowls were left sitting on the ground until near the end of the lab when data was collected from them. The number of insects, rtus and the type was recorded and as it was recorded the soapy water was poured out. The data showed that for the woodland there was only one insect caught for the entire area and for the grassland there were many insects caught. This variation was probably because it was raining during the experiment so many of the insects that were in the woodland were not able to climb into the bowls and were probably hiding in the trees and ground. However, for the grassland area the insects that were already climbing on the grass and leaves would have been able to climb into the bowls easily, since they would be at a higher elevation. Many of insects in the grassland area were very small to identify the species, therefore it was recorded as unknown insects. The rtus was the number of insects that could be recognized and identified for this experiment the only insects that were recognizable were ants, aphids and fly.

title: Lab 3, Week, 4 - Techniques and Data

description: Data was collected on the insects caught inside pan traps set up either in a grassland (G) or woodlot (W) at York University's Keele Campus. There were approximately 10 traps with approximately the same number of different coloured pans in each location. The pans were set up using a random arrangement of colours with at least one meter seperating each pan in both locations. The pans were coloured either blue (B), yellow (Y), or white (W) to attract the insects to the trap of soapy water inside each pan. The total number of insects caught in the soapy water, the different recognizable taxonomic units (rtus) caught in each specific pan trap, and the quantity of each individual rtu found inside each specific pan trap were recorded after letting the traps sit for approximetly 3 hours. .

title: Bird species spotted near a belt transect in Danby woodlot and grassland

description: This experiment took place on October 1, 2015 from 3:00-4:40pm in Danby woodlot and grassland, York University Keele campus. The temperature was 15 °C, sunny (non-blinding light to observe birds) with wind speed around 18-19 miles per hour. The purpose of this experiment was to collect data of birds flying or on branches near the belt transect which was 20 meters long. In this experiment there were 10 transect line, 5 were laid randomly in the grassland while the other 5 were laid in the woodlot. A member of the group would walk along the transect line which took a total of 10 minutes and spot birds (looked at birds with our eyes) that were flying above or on the branches (woodlot only). Once the birds were spotted the common name of the bird was written down (looked in a bird identification guide), counted the number of birds seen (abundance), estimated the distance the bird was away from the transect line in meters and the wind speed when the bird was spotted (checked on the weather network website when bird was spotted). The equipment used was the transect line measuring tape. The geese were spotted at the edge of the woodlot which is near a parking lot. The sample size was 16. The group members of group 4 including myself were Simranjit Kang, Ava Kamali and Katrin Chapkis

title: Danby Woodlot Insect Diversity and Abundance

description: Experiment was conducted on Tuesday September 29th, 2015, at 3:00, at the Danby Grasslot in York University to observe the insect diversity and abundance in the area. A transect was laid out for 50 feet across the grasslot, insects were obtained by sweeping with a net for approximatly 2 minutes and 30 seconds over the 50 feet (Approxiamtly 2 sweeps every half foot.) At the end of the sweep Insects were taken out of the net and recorded. The sweeping was repeated 10 times, each new transect line was at a 45° angle from the end of the previous line, creating an overall zigzag pattern. This experiment was done in the rain, creating a bias for certain insects such as the Grove Snail (<em>Cepaea nemoralis</em>.) Experiment was conducted by Markian Plawiuk, with help from Bonnie Duong and Nicole Gallagher.

title: The Study of Insect Abundance Using Quadrats in the Stong Pond Grasslands and the Saywell Woodlots at York University

description: On Monday September 28st 2015, at approximately 3:30pm to 5:00 pm an experiment including 10 grassland plots around Stong Pond and 10 woodlot plots at Saywell Lot at York University were examined to collect data on insect abundance and diversity. The goal was to identify the abundance and richness of incest’s found in each location. The weather that day was slightly breezy, approximately a 2 on the beaufort scale, cloudy, with previous rainfall of 0.5 mm on the ground, and at a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius. A one by one-meter quadrat was randomly placed around different areas of the grassland and woodlot to determine the abundance and diversity of incest’s present. To randomize the selection of the grassland and woodlot plots chosen, a plastic bottle was thrown backwards while facing the sun. The quadrat was then placed around the bottle and the results were noted over a period of 4 minutes. The results were then classified into abundance and recognizable taxonomic units (RTUs). The only tool used during the experiment was the quadrat, a plastic bottle and a timer, the incest’s were visually classified by the experimenters. Among the examined plots, there were many varieties of incest’s including the Grasshopper, Moth, Beetle, Wasp, Butterfly, Spider, Ant, Ladybug, Mosquito, Snail, Cricket and Dragonfly. This experiment was done with the assistance of lab members Danika Gordon, Karen Lin, Israt Hossain and Raman Singh.

title: Grassland, Dataset #3 - Surveying the Insect Abundance and Different RTU

description: The data was collected at the grassland of York University Campus on Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at 3:30 pm to 4:45 pm contributed by J.Quach, I. Darman and Amin A. As a group, sections of the grassland must be decided on and received a group consensus with careful consideration of the selections being made prior to starting the experiment. Once that is completed, a transect measuring tape will be used to determine a distance of 10 metres and serves the purpose of setting limits and precise measurement for each replicate. For every metre on the transect measuring tape, an attempt is performed and can be totaled up to 10 attempts (or 1 replicate for a total of 100 metres covered in 10 replicates). One group member was in charged of recording the data, another member needed for using the sweep net to capture the data and one more member or two to count the insect abundance and total number of RTUs within the sweep net by visual observation. Each group member swapped roles to get an opportunity of using the sweep net and to see a definite deviation in data. More replicates were required to see a variation in species and to get an accurate reading of certain areas of the grassland. The sweep net method is generally used to determine whether pesticides are necessary in case of an pest infestation on crops, but for this experiment, it is useful for locating certain RTU's, and whether most of the essential insect groups are present in the grasslands.

title: The Frequency and Richness of Bird Species in Saywell Woodlot and Stong Pond Grasslands at York University (Keele Campus)

description: All bird species were observed on September 28. 2015. The weather was 22 degrees celcius with an overcast (cloudy) day after a rainfall. The barometer read 101.76 kPa, and the windspeed was 15 Km/hour SSW. All birds were observed and counted either near the Stong Pond grassland or, in or near the Saywell Woodlot. Five specific sites within each of these two habitats were chosen randomly with no particular procedure/protocol. In all 10 sites, a transect measuring 50 meters by 50 meters wide and a height of unlimited (to the sky), were set as parameters. Any individual bird that entered these parameters was counted and recorded in the dataset, distance from the transect was not taken into consideration. The total sum of the number of individuals of each species observed was recorded as the “Frequency of # of Birds”, and the total number of species was recorded as the “Richness of Bird Species”. All observations were made using a pair of binoculars, and by walking around the parameters of the transects for 5 minutes.
