title: Distance Sampling for Abundance and Distribution of Mobile Species - Sweep net dataset 4

description: The following data set was collected in the Danby Grasslot area at York University on September 29th, 2015 at approximately 3:30 to 4:30 PM. Sampling conditions included cloudy weather, rain and a temperature of 18°C. My group members, Amanda, Phenil, Tonia, and I were assigned four different sets of data to obtain. I was assigned to obtain the sweep net dataset with my partner Tonia. Tonia and I then headed to the Danby Grasslot area and began to collect such data. A transect measuring tape was unwound and extended twenty meters long. The transect was then placed on the floor, in a straight line, at a random location in the Grasslot area. The twenty-meter straight line was walked over a time interval of two minutes; the equivalent of walking ten meters a minute or fifteen centimeters a second. A net was used to continuously sweep the plants and grass that were located along the transect line during the walk. At the end of the sweep walk, the number of insects found within the net was counted and recorded. Among those insects present within the net, the number of different recognizable taxonomic units, RTU’s, was also recorded. RTU’s were used in this experiment to distinguish between the different types of insects that were found within the net. Insects that contained similar features were grouped together and given a general group name, the number of different groups present within the net was recorded. Such group names included flies, spiders, ladybugs, beetles and snails. The transect was then picked up, moved to another random location and the process was repeated for another nine trials. On the field, this distance sampling method allows BIOL2050 students to estimate the abundance and distribution of a mobile species population over a large surface area in a relatively short time period. Off the field, this laboratory gives students the opportunity to better describe their metadata as well as share their data findings with the greater scientific world.

title: Insect population via Pan trap

description: This experiment was conducted on Tuesday September 29 2015 in the Danby Woodlot and the Danby Grassland at York University Keele Campus from 3:00pm-5:15pm, with group members Houra, Alexandera and Kathy. The weather was approximately 21°C with cloudy skies, and light to moderate rain fall. Houra and I, were assigned the <strong>pan trap dataset</strong> by the instruction of the TA. The purpose of the pan trap experiment was to collect field data in order to estimate the abundance and diversity of, but not limited to, flying insects. This experiment required us to fill 9 solo bowls (instead of 10) with soapy water and place them in the woodlot, and the same repeated for the grassland. The bowls were arranged in groups of three, giving a total of 3 groups in each location. Each group of bowls consisted of three different colors; yellow, blue and white. When all the lab groups had set up and filled their bowls, the time was noted (3:20pm) and the bowls were left alone for an hour in order for bugs to get trapped the bowl. In the meantime we helped our group members collect their field data. After one hour (4:20pm) the bowls were collected and observed. The total insect count, number of RTU's, Type of RTU, and bowl color was noted for each bowl by looking at the mixture in the bowl from above, giving a total of 18 bowls. After the observation was complete, the soapy water containing the insects was poured onto the ground and the bowls were collected and taken back to the lab. Within the woodlot and grasslands, the group of bowls were placed in various locations, which may have affected the number, and type of insects collected. In the woodlot, group 1 was placed under a tree, group 2-beside a log, and group 3-in the open, on top of some leaves. In the grasslands, group 4 was set next to a common plantain, group 5 -in the grass where no plants near it an group 6- under a tree. It was concluded that not many insects were collected through the pan trap because of the rainy weather conditions, since they were probably sheltering from the rain. The small time frame could have also caused not many bugs to get traped.

title: Lab3- Field Sample Training with Animals

description: This lab took place in the grassland at York University near the Aviva Centre were data was collected on insects that were found there. Quadrats were used on both the mowed and tall grass area. 10 quadrats were placed on the mowed area and 10 placed on the tall grass area. When placing the quadrats, they were always placed two steps away from the last one. Once the quadrat was placed, it was then observed what insects that were found in each quadrat and the number of each insect was counted for as well.

title: WK4: Pan trap dataset

description: This lab was conducted by using pan traps to capture insects on York University grassland and woodlot near Strong Pond which took place on September 29, 2015. Four bowls were placed 1 metre apart for each lot, each bowl contained a mixture of water and soap, where they were collected towards the end of the lab to record, and identify the insects in the bowls. When setting up the pan traps for the grasslands, it was decided that the bowls should be in an area with high vegetation, and was close to other plants in order to maximize the number of insects captured. For the woodlots, the bowls were placed near the edge of trees where insects were most abundant. Having a variety of coloured bowls were important as different insects may prefer specific colours, which would result in higher diversity of what is captured. From the results, the pan trap woodlot dataset contained the most number of species while being most diverse as well. A dichotomous key was used to identify the order of the species that were accounted for in each bowl. The weather had an impact on the collected results as the majority of the bowls were empty as insects were less active in wet conditions.

title: A cross-sectional investigation of parenting style and friendship as mediators of the relation between social class and mental health in a university community.

description: Introduction: This study tested a novel explanation for the positive relation between social class and mental health among university students. Students with a higher social class were expected to have experienced more authoritative and less authoritarian parenting styles; these parenting styles were expected to lead to greater friendship and social integration at university; and greater friendship and integration were expected to lead to better mental health. Method: To test this model, the researchers asked 397 Australian undergraduate students to complete an online survey. The research used a cross-sectional correlational design, and the data was analysed using bootstrapped multiple serial mediation tests. Results: Consistent with predictions, parenting style, general friendship and support, and social integration at university mediated the relation between social class and mental health. Conclusions: The present results suggest that working-class parenting styles may inhibit the development of socially-supportive friendships that protect against mental health problems. The potential effectiveness of interventions based on (a) social integration and (b) parenting style is discussed. Future research in this area should employ a longitudinal research design in order to arrive at clearer causal conclusions about the relations between social class, parenting styles, friendship, social integration, and mental health.

title: Distance- based dataset 4: frequency of bird sightings

description: Lab took place on a very rainy and windy Tuesday September 29, 2015 at the York University Danby Woodlot and Grasslands. Occured at 2:30 and finished at 5:10 and was done with the assistance of Kathy, Houra, and Khaula. My group and I predicted that because of the changing weather conditons of cloudy skies to constant wind and rain, the frequency of birds sighted was most likely less frequent than what it would be like on a sunnier day. The experiment was to observe the frequency of birds and their species in both the Danby woodlot and grasslands. This was done by sighting birds within a certain distance of the belt transect, which for our group, was 8 metres max and the transect length was 20 metres. An observer waited and looked around for two minutes on a part of the transect and when a bird was spotted, they would write down the estimated location of where the species was spotted from the belt transect, the estimate of its species (RTU), and the estimate of the wind speed (in beaufort scale) that the bird was travelling in. The observer would repeat this cycle every two minutes on a different section of the transect in order to cover more ground. After the entire length of the belt transect had been used for bird sighting, it was placed in a new location 4 more times in the Danby woodlot, and this process was repeated again in the Grasslands.

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.
