title: Lab 3: Grassland and Woodlot Quadrat Dataset

description: Method: A one metre square quadrat was placed randomly in the grass. Each of four group members observed a quarter of the quadrat, and counted all the invertebrates found in their quarter, while the fifth group member recorded the group's findings. Each time an invertebrate was found, it's specie was recorded, and any unidentified specie was recorded as "unidentified" with a small description, so it can be identified later. After the whole quadrat was searched, the group went through their findings and counted how many different species were recorded, including the unidentified invertebrates as well. Then the quadrat was repositioned randomly within the grassland seven more times, and all the observations and recordings were repeated again. After all seven grassland quadrats were observed, the whole process was repeated seven times in the woodlot.

title: Distance-based Data Accumulation

description: For the afternoon animal field experiment, taken place on Monday September 29, 2014, data was collected by a group of undergraduate students under the supervision of an experienced T.A. The experiment was situated throughout the York University Keele Campus’s grassland and woodlot and executed by sampling at random from approximately 2:45 PM - 5:15PM. The actual weather forecast (courtesy of http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/toronto/m5g/september-weather/55488) for the allocated time varied anywhere from as low as 13ᵒC to as high as 24ᵒC. In addition, throughout the designated area there was a light breeze (according to the Beaufort scale) felt while carrying out the distance-based dataset. In each of the two areas (Grassland & Woodlot) a total of five transects were placed accordingly. Unlike the Grassland, we in particular utilized a belt transect method for the Woodlot given that it was a challenge to position the transects in a straight path. So consequently, a student had paced 50 footsteps (around 25 metres from the transects) along the specific path of the carefully positioned transects. For each and every trial achieved, we as a group had established the path along which the 50 foot paces were to be taken for the distance-based transects. Anything that was observed in that distance on either side of the path was accounted for in the accumulation of data. A pair of binoculars was used as an aid to further get a closer glimpse at the type of birds in-flight in an attempt to successfully classify the detected species by family name afterwards. Once the bird(s) became visible, we would subsequently estimate the projected distance (metres) the bird was sited from the transects. Soon after, with the assistance of the T.A. as well as the available bird illustrations guidebook to categorize the particular species found at each area, we as a group collectively reached upon a consensus and were able to identify and record each of the bird species in conjunction with its frequency of sighting(s). As for the wind speed in the woodlot, we used the Beaufort scale and chose the appropriate Seaman's terminology for the determination of the wind condition (we also asked the lab supervisor for confirmation on our assumption of the wind speed). Once again, this particular experiment was replicated at least five times within a specified vicinity of Grassland and Woodlot habitat.

title: River corridor plants revisited: What drives their unique distribution patterns?

description: The phenomenon whereby some plant species display a river corridor distribution pattern has long been recognized but is still poorly understood. The goals of this study were to supplement the list of river corridor plants for Central Europe, analyze their habitats and compare their ecological features with those of their widely distributed counterparts. The ATPOL (<i><b>At</b>las of <b>Pol</b>and</i>) database was used to compile a list of river corridor plants of Poland and calculate their river-specificity indices. The Ellenberg indicator values, dispersal modes and life forms of river corridor and widely distributed species were compared using generalized linear mixed models. Eighty five species were classified as river corridor species. The most numerous habitat groups were meadow species (19%), wet-habitat therophytes (15%), riverside tall-herbs (13%) and species of dry, sandy soils (12%). These species had requirements for a higher temperature, alkalinity, light and moisture than widespread species. Among river corridor plants there were few eurytopic species. Corridor species had usually only one life form and less dispersal modes than widespread species. Hence, specific demands of corridor plants and lower phenotypic plasticity may explain their restricted geographical distribution. The definition of the river corridor plant species needs modification.

title: Pan trap dataset , week 4 lab

description: In this experiment, we used coloured- plastic bowls to make pan trap and there were 3 different colours used as blue, yellow and white. In each location which were woodlot and grassland, we placed 9 plastic bowls with alternating colour (blue, yellow, white) and each plastic bowl was 3 meter away from each other. These plastic bowls were half-filled with soapy water in order to prevent captured insects from escaping out of pan trap. After one hour, we came back to the experiment site and counted the total number of insect captured in each bowl and then drained off soapy water and released those insects. We identified the number of different insect species in each bowl and then figured the name of each insect species after lab period. The woodlot and grassland were at York University, Keele campus. The experiment was done on September 29, 2014 from 3pm to 4 pm. The weather was clear, sunny and the temperature was around 24 Celsius degree.

title: Ecology week 4: field sample with animals

description: The experiment was conducted at York university on stong pond, and saywell woodlot from 2:40-5:20 pm. In the experiment we used quadrats to measure the abundance of species in a certain area in both grassland and woodland. The quadrat used for this experiment was 1m x 1m and it was randomly laid out in 10 different areas in grassland and 10 different areas in woodland for a total of 20 number of quadrat samples. After the quadrat was laid out on the ground, the total number of different species was observed and estimated. Each of the quadrat was observe for about 2 minutes, and the amount of total number of species observed in that time interval was recorded, if there were no species observed in that time period zero was put as the estimate. In addition, we also observed different taxonomic units per sample (rtus) from class insect, class gastropoda, and class oligochatea. The different rtus from each sample was observed based on appearance and recorded in each column of the class.

title: Ecology Lab 4 - Field Sample Training With Animals

description: The data was collected by group 4 which consisted of Shelly, Carmen, Navdip and Dorsah. This data was collected on a sunny afternoon with temperatures of about 20 degrees Celsius. The first 5 trails were in the woodlot and the next 5 in the grasslands. Once we arrived at the woodlot, a transect was extended 25 meters on the ground. A group member from group 4 walked along the 25 meter distance swinging a sweep net as close to the ground as possible. The sweep net was continuously swung for the entire 25 meters so that the organisms in the net would not be able to escape. Once the 25 meter end was reached the net was swung in a circle and closed off so that the organisms would be trapped and could be counted. Each type of insect, bug and fly was counted and recorded. This was repeated 4 more times in different areas of the woodlot and then 5 more times in different areas of the grasslands.
