title: LAB 3: Sweep Net Data Set

description: First twenty-five meters of a transect tape was pulled out and place in a straight line on the ground of the York University's grassland. With a sweep net in hand one of the investigators stood at one end of the twenty-five meter transect tape. Another investigator who held a stop watch gave the investigator standing at one end of the transect tape a signal to begin as he/she started the time. When the signal was given the investigator standing at the end of the transect tape started to walk along the transect tape while swinging the sweep net in an aggressive figure eight like pattern. When the investigator reached the other end of the transect tape he/she stop swinging the sweep net in the figure eight like pattern and immediately took one had and grip the top of the sweep net just before the opening to prevent any insects captured from escaping. At this exact time the investigator with the stop watch stop and recorded the time elasped in seconds. While the investigator hand firmly gripped the top of the sweep net, the insects captured in the net below the grip were observed. If there were bushes caught in the sweep net, the bottom of sweep net below grip was given a slight shake to encourage any insect in between the bushes to come out. The total number of insects, the number of unique rtus (recognizable taxonomic unit per sample), and the unique rtus were recorded. These steps were repeated an additional nine times for a total sample size of ten. :astly, during each sample the orientation of the transect tape on the ground was changed, or the transect tape was moved all together so that the investigator does not walked the same path more than once.

title: Insect population characteristics within Danby Woods grasslands and woodlot

description: Data were recorded in the Danby Woods area on the York University Keele Campus. Sampling consisted of randomly placing 1 by 1 metre quadrats in highly disturbed grassland and woodlot environments and observing insect life over a one minute time interval per quadrat. Parameters investigated included total abundance, recognizable taxonomic units, recognizable taxonomic unit abundance and richness. A single observer was used per quadrat to minimize the probability of counting the same organism more than once. Ten samples were taken from both grassland and woodlot environments. Since no live samples were taken and given the high motility of the insects, recognizable taxonomic units were used to identify and group organisms instead of species.

title: Distance Based Sampling of Birds at York University’s Keele Campus

description: Distance based sampling was used to survey bird species at the Danby Forest at York University. 25m belt transects were set in 5 spots in the woodlot and 5 spots in the adjacent grassland. The researcher walked along the transect and observed the surrounding area for birds. Data for spotted birds included frequency of species, bird common name, wind speed and distance to the bird. Frequency of species included noting the number of birds spotted at the same time. The species of the bird was determined by external appearance of the birds, and a bird guide was used for reference. Wind speed was recorded using the Beaufort scale into 13 different categories from 0 (no wind) to 12 (strongest winds).

title: Survey of Bird Populations in York University's Danby Woodlot

description: On York University's Campus lies Danby Woodlot, a small, undeveloped area in an otherwise urban landscape. In order to assess the variety and abundance of bird species in the area, this author set out to survey the area. Using ten 25-metre transects (five in a wooded area and five in a grassy area), The author walked slowly along the length taking an estimated 5 minutes per transect. Each time a bird was spotted, the common name and number of birds in the group was recorded. Furthermore, the estimated distance of the specimen(s) from the observer, and wind speed were recorded. To record wind speed, the Beaufort scale of wind speed was emlpoyed. As precision equipment was unavailable, the Beaufort scale allows for approximation of wind speeds.

title: Biodiversity and Abundance of Insects within York University

description: Methods: In order to become more acquainted with publishing datasets and estimating insect abundances, an experimental study was conducted on 30th September 2014, at approximately 3:05PM-4:56PM at two different animal habitats located within York University’s Keele campus; the Saywell Woodlots and the Grassland east of Stong College. The temperature was approximately 20°C with overcast skies. In this experiment, a 1.0m by 1.0m quadrat was used to estimate insect abundance. Once placed onto the vegetation, both moving and still insects within the quadrat were counted and noted for two minutes of placement. The number of different recognizable taxonomic units per quadrat sample was counted as well. This experiment was replicated 10 times within both habitats, with each subsequent quadrat placed approximately 5.0m apart. It is noted that the quadrats were purposely placed near flatter land as opposed to hills. Using a dichotomous key located on pages 40-49 of the BIOL2050 lab manual, the different invertebrate species were identified using their distinguishable external features.

title: Insect diversity found in Grassland and Woodlot using Pan trap experiment

description: This experiment was conducted in Grassland located by Strong Pong and Saywell Woodlot, York University on September 30th in a slightly overcast environment. Three different colours of pantraps (yellow, blue and white) were used to obtain the most reliable data for this experiment. Pantraps were setup in 3 different locations along a transect line in both habitats. Each setup consisted of 3 different colors of pantraps and were located 5 meters apart. The pantraps were three quarters filled with soapy water and were left untouched for approximately 1.5 - 2 hours. The dichotomous key provided in the lab manual was used to identify the different species, and the total number of species collected in each bowl was also observed and recorded. The key objective of this experiment was to predict the abundance of different insect species in 2 habitats.

title: Biodiversity of Insects found in the Grassland and Woodlot of York University

description: Pan traps were set on September 30th, 2014, at the grassland east of Stong pond and in the Saywell woodlot, as a mechanism of collecting and classfiying insects. This experiment occurred from 3:30 to 5:30, when it was partly cloudy and the temperature was approximately 18°C. This trap involved the use of different coloured bowls that are to attract a greater variety of insects. In this investigation blue, yellow, and white containers were used. 3 sets of 3 bowls were placed 5 meters apart along a transect, each set consisting of the three different colours. These containers were half filled with soapy water, the soap was added to break the surface tension of the water, to prevent any insects from escaping. The pan trap were placed in the beginning of the lab in places and the data was collected near the end of the time allotted. The insects captured during this time frame were then distinguished based on varying physical characteristics and through the use of an identification key.
