title: Bird Sighting in Woodlot and Grassland

description: For this animal field experiment, all data were collected in York University's Keele campus woodlot and grassland on Tuesday September 30, 2014 at around 2:30PM to 5:30PM in the afternoon. The weather forecast for that time of the day was cloudy with a high of 19 degrees Celsius and a chance of rain, although during the duration of the data collection precipitation was not observed in the area (according to http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/toronto/m5g/september-weather/55488). The laboratory section was led by Taylor Noble. For the Woodlot dataset, it was collected by Jason, Coleen, Zainab, Donna and Leron. As for the Grassland data set, this was obtained from the other lab group with the permission of Taylor due to the time constraint. For the Woodlot dataset, my group utilized a belt transect method. Since it was very difficult to lay down the transect in a straight line in the woodlot, we estimated the length to be 50 foot paces which turned out to be around 25 metres from the transect. For every trial that we performed, we used the general straight line 50 foot paces for the distance-based observation. Anything that was visible in that straight line distance on either side of the line was accounted for in the data. We also used binoculars as well as a bird guidebook to help us better identify the species detected. As for the wind speed in the woodlot, we used the Beaufort scale and chose the seaman's terminology for the description (we also asked Taylor for confirmation on our estimation on the wind speed). Lastly, we used a combination of the transect and Pythagorean's theory to calculate the distance of the bird from the observer. Similar methodology was utilized in the grassland section of the dataset, but for a more detailed set of instructions please refer to the metadata of Taylor, D, Taylor P, et al.

title: Ecology 2050-Lab 3-Sweep Net Study

description: This dataset was collected on October 2, 2014 at 4:00pm in cloudy, slighty drizzly conditions. A 25 metre transect was laid in a straight line in a randomly selected area of York University's Keele campus grassland. The researcher started at one end of the transect and using a sweet net, walked in a straight line along the measuring tape, swinging left to right in a figure-eight motion. Once the full 25 metres was swept, the researcher clamped the sweep net using one's hands to ensure none of the flying insects could escape before being recorded. The contents of the net were difficult to see due to the translucent nature of the bag, so the contents were then dumped on the ground and the researcher observed the insects, being sure to note any that may have flown away. The type of insects that were found in the net were recorded along with how many of each there were. This process was completed ten times in total using ten randomly selected areas of the grassland.

description: Ten adult Silver Maple trees were located in the York University Woodlot area. An adult tree was considered over twelve feet. A quantative analysis of the Silver Maple diameter was obtained by measuring a transect tape measure all the way around the trunk at breast heigh and recorded in centimeters. The canopy coverage of this each tree was determined by creating a square shape with our thumbs and index fingers and holding it up to the sky. The amount of canopy within this square was estimated. The nearest sapling Silver Maple to the adult Silver Maple tree was located and the distance was measure by placing a transect tape measure along the ground between both trees, the value was recorded in centimeters. The diameter of the sapling Silver Maple was determined by wrapping the transect tape measure around the sapling trunk as close to the ground as possible, the value was recorded in centimeters.

title: Sweep net dataset

description: The 2050 ecology class headed out the woodlot and grasslands by Chimneystack Rd. on the York University Campus. The temperature was approximately 18 degree celcius and raining. During this time we randomly selected an area of grasslands where we used a transect and sweep net to record the number of insects caught over an interval of time. This was repeated on 10 occasions during the 1 hour we were at the grasslands. Based on the data collected it appears that rain effects airborne insects normal behaviour and makes them difficult to locate.

title: Diversity of Insects in Grassland using Sweep Net Sampling

description: The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the abundance and diversity of insects within the grassland. The abundance of insects was examined using sweep net sampling. A 10 meter transect was placed randomly in the grassland. The sweep net sampling technique (gliding the net across the ground) occured along each transect for 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes have passed, the contents the net gathered were observed and the number of insects, as well as the identification of the insect species present, were recorded. 10 trials took place in this experiment. This experiment was conducted on October 3rd, 2014 from 3:05-3:55pm on the grassland by The Chimneystack Road. During the time of the experiement, there was a moderate breeze and constant rain showers. Observations and the recording of the data was completed by Lilach Dahoah-Halevi (myself), Cait Carew, Shervin Tohidi and Nitharsija Srikanthan.

title: Pan Trap Data Set of Insects in a Grassland and Woodlot

description: The Pan Trap dataset was collected on September 29, 2014 between the hours of 2:45pm and 4:30pm. The location was at the York University Keele Campus located in Toronto, Ontario in both a woodlot and a grassland. At the onset of the lab, the researcher laid out 9 plastic bowl in the grassland, alternating between the three colours, white, yellow, and blue, and set these bowls 3m apart. Each bowl was filled halfway with soapy water. This site was left so that time could pass, allowing insects to be collected in the bowls. The researcher did the same procedure in the woodland site – laying the 3 different coloured plastic bowls out 3m a part. After approximately 35 minutes, the researcher observed the number and type of insect in each bowl. After the observation, the soapy water was disposed of and the bowls were collected. The same procedure was done in the grassland.

title: The variety and abundance of different insects found in grasslands vs. woodlots

description: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the variety and abundance of different insects found in different habitats – in this case, grasslands versus woodlots – and what colour these insects may be more attracted to. This was done by laying down pan traps along a transect in random areas of the Saywell Woodlot and the grassland east of Stong Pond. A triad consisting of one yellow, blue, and white solo bowl filled with soapy water was placed every 5m along the transect for a total of 3 triads in the grassland and 3 triads in the woodlot (18 pan traps in total). All pan traps were placed at 3pm on Tuesday, September 30, 2014 and picked back up again 4:45pm that same day. When picking up the pan traps, the number of orders and number of insects per order in each pan trap as well as the total number of insects were recorded.
