description: <b>PAN TRAP META-DATA</b> <b>Description of Data Column Headers:</b> <b>Pan Trap:</b> Twenty plastic bowls, 17.5 centimetres (cm) in diameter and 4.5 centimetres (cm) in depth, were filled with 60 millilitres (mL) and randomly placed, ten in the grassland and ten in the woodlot. <b>Colour:</b> The colour of each bowl was classified into three categories, blue, white or yellow.<b>Habitat Type:</b> The habitats under study were classified into two categories, grassland or woodlot. <b>Number of Insects:</b> The total number of insects captured in each bowl. <b>Number of Species (rtus):</b> The number of different insect species or recognizable taxonomic units per sample (rtus) found in each bowl.<b>Additional Information:</b> <b>Date and Time of Data Collection: </b>This survey was conducted on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 from 3:25p.m. to 4:22p.m. <b>Field Site: </b>The field site was located on the York University - Keele Campus in a grassland and woodlot near Keele Street and York Boulevard (Latitude 43.78° N, Longitude 79.50° W). The conditions were partly cloudy with a moderate breeze, and 20 degrees Celsius. The grassland was approximately 200m by 350m wide and tall trees were found along its perimeter. The woodlot was approximately 350m by 500m wide. <b>Methods: </b>Twenty plastic bowls were used randomly placed on the field site, ten in the grassland and ten in the woodlot. The plastic bowls were each filled with approximately 60mL of soapy water and left for the duration of the lab. The plastic bowls were revisited at the end of the lab and the number of insects within each plastic bowl was counted and recorded. Following, the number of species in each plastic bowl was counted and recorded to obtain the number of recognizable taxonomic units per sample (rtus). <b>Details of Data: </b>The data obtained in this experiment is both categorical and continuous as the data was recorded in categories for 'habitat type' (grassland or woodlot) and 'colour' (blue, white or yellow), and recorded numerically for number of insects and number of species (rtus). The data for recognizable taxonomic units per sample (rtus) was collected and recorded by classifying each different species in the pan trap. <b>Hypothesis: </b>It was hypothesized that insects are more attracted to vibrant-coloured pan traps than dark-coloured pan traps, as vibrant-coloured pan traps are a better representation to the organisms they feed on in their habitat. <b>Prediction: </b>It was predicted that a higher number of insects and recognizable taxonomic units per sample (rtus) would be captured in the yellow pan traps than in the blue pan traps.

title: Yorku,east of Stong Pond,sept27th-2016.CSV

description: On September 27<sup>th</sup> 2016 between 3:18 pm to 4:30 pm with 18-degree Celsius data was collected on York university campus east of stong pond grassland and saywell woodlot in order to estimate the abundance of birds and how much variety exists. I used approximately 30 meters in length and 5-minute waiting time to observe in each trial. Specifically, 5 trials in the grass land and 5 trials in the woodlot. By using the birds identification handbook I was able to observe how many different species there are in each trial. Therefore, the total number of birds and how many different species and the frequency of each species was reordered. Based on my observations I hypotheses that birds exists more frequently in the woodlot than the grass land and that could be due to the enormous amount of trees in the woodlot since birds mostly live in nests.

title: Relationship between pan color and insect population density at a grassland in York university.

description: The study conducted examined the total number of individuals and number of species of insects collected in relation to the color of the pan trap laid out in the Grassland at York University.<br>Methods:A total of 18 pan traps were laid out, 6 pans for each of the colors(yellow, blue and white). The traps were placed in groups of three, having one of each color. An estimated 40 ml of soap water was added to each pan. The groups were randomly laid out along the transect on an evenly elevated plot of land and the distance from the initial pan trap to each of the other pan trap was recorded in meters .The traps were left out for an hour, after which they were collected and examined. The number of individuals and number of species collected in each pan trap and recorded. <br>Hypothesis:There will be more insects collected in the brightly colored pan traps compared to those that are not brightly colored.<br>Prediction:1-There will be more insects collected in the yellow pan trap as compared to the blue or white. Like brightly colored flowers, insects are generally attracted towards to those pan traps which draws their attention. 2-There will be an increase in individual number of insects and species from the white to the yellow pan trap , with yellow having the most and white having the least. Meta-data:<br>Plot: An area of grassland outside of the engineering building at York university. A total of 18 individual pans were laid out containing 6 groups of three at random locations along the chosen transect.<br>Number of individual insects: The total number of individual insects regardless of species, that were collected in each pan trap.<br>Number of insect species: The total number of species type for the insects found in each pan trap.<br>The location of the pan traps were not a factor that was considered, since they were laid out randomly. The distance of each pan trap from the initial was recorded in meters along the transect.<br><br><br><br>

title: Correlation in the Abundance and Variety of Insects Found Between Slightly Different Micro- Climates in a Grassland Ecosystem at York University

description: Study corresponds the relationship of insects and three micro- climates at a grassland ecosystem at York University<br>Methods:Set six deep plates, two blues, two yellows and two whites, in a hexagonal configuration, each with it's own color opposite of itself, at three different locations within a grassland ecosystem at York University, for a total of 18 plates usedChose all three locations to be near a tree, approximately 13 meters apart from one another, in a triangle formatOne location to be exposed to a substantial amount of sunlight, the other to be in the shade, and the third to be exposed to intermediate sunlight Pour about an inch high's worth of soapy water into each containerLet sit for approximately one and a half to two hoursRecord the total number of insects in each individual container and the number of different insect species in those containers<br>Hypothesis:There will be more insects in the colored containers, compared to the non colored, and more insects will be present at locations abundant with sunlight<br>Prediction:The colored containers, especially the yellow will contain the most average insects, as well as variety of insects due to the abundance of yellow flowering plants in the grassland ecosystem, followed by blue and then white being the least, regardless of sun exposure.The location with the most sun exposure will have the most insects, and variety, followed by the intermediate exposure and then the shade being last, due to the insects converging in areas where light is abundant, where there would presumably be more flowering plants <br>Metadata:Hexagonal configuration of two of each color was used to eliminate coincidences in results, reassuring the notion of color preference from insectsEqual distance and triangle format was used to set plates to ensure evenness of proximity between each locationEvery individual insect was countedAll different species were sectioned as a seperate species, regardless of family group, ex. large ants and small ants were counted as different species<br><br><br><br>

description: <b>Data Column Headers and Descriptions:</b> <b>Pan Trap Replicates: </b>10 pan traps (plastic bowls with a diameter of 15 cm and a depth of 6.5 cm) were placed in each habitat. The pan traps came in three colours: yellow, white, and blue. <b>Habitat: </b>refers to the habitat in which observations were recorded. The two habitats that were assessed are grassland and woodland. Grassland is defined as an open area at least 250m by 250m in size with few trees. Woodlot is defined as a forest on campus <b>Number of Insects</b>: the number of insects in each pan trap was visually assessed and recorded. Categorical variable; a discrete number of insects were observed. <b>Number of RTUs</b>: the number of recognizable taxonomic units (acronym: RTUs) in each pan trap was visually assessed. Categorical variable; a discrete number of RTUs were observed. <b>Additional Information:</b> <b>Hypothesis and Predictions: </b>It was hypothesized that in the grassland there are more insects and more recognizable taxonomic units than in the woodlot. I predict that pan traps placed in the grassland will capture more insects than pan traps placed in the woodlot. I also predict that the pan traps placed in the grassland will yield more recognizable taxonomic units than pan traps placed in the woodlot <b>Time Data Was Collected</b>: Tuesday, September 27, 2016. 3:20-4:05 EST. <b>Duration of Survey: </b>45 minutes. <b>Location of Data</b>: Grassland and adjacent woodlot at York University, near York Boulevard. Latitude and longitude: 43.775, -79.505. <b>Weather Conditions: </b>21 degrees Celsius, cloudy/overcast, and dry conditions. <b>Survey Method</b>: Ten pan traps were placed in each habitat. One pan trap was placed randomly at the periphery of each habitat. Successive pan traps were placed approximately two meters (two stride-lengths) westward from the initial pan trap. Directionality was determined using the iPhone compass application. Each plastic bowl was filled half-way with soapy water. In each habitat, three yellow-coloured, three blue-coloured, and four white-coloured pan traps were placed. The pan traps were arranged in the following order by colour: white-blue-yellow. The first pan trap placed at the periphery was white-coloured. The pan traps were left in each habitat for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, the pan traps were visually assessed and the number of insects and the number of species (recognizable taxonomic units) were recorded.
