title: Data of Several Species of Trees Collected in York University'sWoodlot

description: The data obtained was from the woodlots of York University in Toronto. It was a forested area on the outskirts of the university and there was a lot of green canopy. There were different species of trees were present for observation and data recording. The data was collected in pairs, one person recording the numbers and measurements, and the other using the tools in order to obtain the measurements. The tools used were transect measuring tapes and normal measuring tapes. The data was collected from 10 arbitrary trees from the edge to the centre of the woodlot. Walking in a straight line, every tree encountered that was twice the data recorder’s height was recorded. The dichotomous tree guide was used to compare and match the tree leaves according to its species. Data from the species of Sugar Maple, Red Oak, Black Cherry, Bass Wood, Red Pine and White Spruce were collected. The following variables recorded were the species of the tree, the diameter of the trunk, the distance from the previous tree and the condition of the tree itself, using numbers 0,1,and 2. Each tree was labelled one to ten in order to chronologically keep track of the data and recordings. The species of the tree (Sugar Maple, Red Oak, Black Cherry, Bass Wood, Red Pine and White Spruce) was obtained by matching the leaves to the dichotomous tree guide provided in the lab manual. The diameter was the measurement of the tree trunk at breast height, measured in centimetres using the normal measuring tape. The distance was recorded in feet and stated the length from the previous tree to the current one being recorded using the transect measuring tape. The condition of the tree was measured using numbers, 0 representing dead, 1 representing living & small canopy, and 2 representing living & large canopy.

title: Adult to Sapling Comparison in Danby Woodlot

description: <b>METADATA:</b><b>Tree Pair #:</b> the number of total trees sampled was 20, divided into 10 pairs of 1 adult tree and one sapling. All trees sampled were pairs of maple trees and no trees smaller than 0.05m were selected to participate in the study. <b>dbh: </b>(Diameter at breast height.) The diameter of 10 adult trees was measured horizontally using a transect at approximately 1.5m above ground level. An adult tree was defined as one with a diameter greater than 0.2m. <b>% Canopy Coverage:</b> The canopy coverage was estimated by looking at the relative leave coverage above compared to open space when standing directly under the adult tree in the pair. <b>Distance to Sapling:</b> The distance between the adult tree and the sapling was measured in a straight line using the transect. No pairs over a distance of 4m were selected. <b>dbh Sapling:</b> (Diameter at breast height of the sapling.) The diameter of 10 sapling trees was measured horizontally using a transect at approximately 1.5m above ground level. An sapling tree was defined as one with a diameter less than 0.2m but no trees with diameter less than 0.05m were included. <br><b>Environment: </b>The data was collected between 2:30 and 5:30pm on a sunny afternoon with no wind or cloud cover. The temperature was approximately 26 degrees Celsius. The data was collected from the Danby Woodlot on York University Keele campus while other students also surveyed similar trees. The lot consisted of maple trees as well as other non coniferous species and some ground shrubs. Canopy coverage may not be an accurate estimate as the ground was riddled with fallen leaves. <br><b>METHODS:</b>The data was collected by first seeking out a larger maple tree with a sapling within reasonable proximity. The diameter of the adult maple tree was then measured to two decimal places using a 30m transect approximately 1.5m above the ground. Next, while standing directly under the adult maple the percent canopy coverage was estimated by forming a rough 2inx3in box using our hands. Using this make shift measuring tool and looking directly up, the percent of coverage was estimated, relative to the open sky. After that, the distance from the adult maple tree to the nearest sapling was measured by placing one end of the transect at the adult tree and measuring (to two decimal places) in a straight line to the sapling. Lastly, the diameter of the sapling was also measured to two decimal places using the transect approximately 1.5m above the ground. This was repeated ten times for a total of the ten pairs. <b><br></b><b>HYPOTHESIS: </b><br>It was hypothesized that larger adult maple trees would have a greater distance to their nearest sapling and that the nearest sapling would be larger in relation because the larger adults can spread their seeds further and have existed to produce saplings longer. <br><b>PREDICTIONS: </b>1) Larger adult trees will have a greater distance to their nearest sapling.2) Larger adult trees will be paired with larger saplings. <br><br><br>

title: Artisanal Spearfishery in Temperate Nearshore Ecosystems of Chile: Exploring the Catch Composition, Revenue, and Management Needs

description: We used extensive field data on catch and effort as well as fisher interviews to characterize the catch composition and revenue associated with the unregulated artisanal spearfishery in Chile (18–33°S). Sampling was performed on commercial spearfishing trips (snorkel and hookah diving gear) between spring 2010 and summer 2011. Two-way crossed ANOVA showed significant effects of region (latitude) and dive gear on fishery variables such as biomass CPUE (CPUE<i><sub>b</sub></i>), numeric CPUE (CPUE<i><sub>n</sub></i>), catch species richness, fishing depth, cost, and income. Catches included 22 fish species from 15 families. Among the 23 species, 17 were associated with temperate rocky reef habitats: 14 carnivorous species, 2 omnivorous species, and 1 herbivorous species. Our results indicated that smaller, less-valuable rocky reef fishes (e.g., Peruvian Morwong <i>Cheilodactylus variegatus</i>, Chilean Sandperch <i>Pinguipes chilensis</i>, and Peruvian Rock Seabass <i>Paralabrax humeralis</i>) supported higher CPUE<i><sub>b</sub></i> and CPUE<i><sub>n</sub></i> than large, high-value, emblematic rocky reef species (e.g., Vieja <i>Graus nigra</i>, Galapagos Sheephead Wrasse <i>Semicossyphus darwini</i>, and Acha <i>Medialuna ancietae</i>). The CPUE<i><sub>b</sub></i> was significantly higher for hookah fishers than for snorkel fishers. Our results revealed that artisanal spearfishing activities provide important revenue for the fishers (2–3 times the minimum monthly wage in Chile), thereby incentivizing a rapid expansion of this unregulated fishery. Management options based on territorial user rights and catch and size restrictions are discussed in light of these findings. Received December 19, 2013; accepted March 29, 2016
