title: Organism Sample Using Sweep Net and Transect in York University Grassland

description: The purpose of collecting this data was to practice using sweep nets and transects in collecting sample data on organism density within a grassland. Data was collected from the grassland, located south of Chimneystack Road, on the York University Keele campus. Collaborated with Hasan Hamam, Angela Joseph, and Enrique Sapena Ventura. Ten transects were laid out along the grassland, five running west to east every ten paces along the west side of the lot, and five running north to south every 10 paces starting at the north edge of the lot. Transects measured 20 meters and were walked for approximately 5 minutes each. Weather conditions during sampling were windy with a moderate rain, and less species than expected were captured using this method.

title: Study of the Abundance and Diversity of Insects in Grassland and Woodlot Regions

description: Data was obtained by studying grassland and woodlot regions of Danby Woods in York University. This field sampling was conducted by utilizing ten quadrats, each encompassed a total area of one metre squared. Quadrats were used to study both regions and they were randomly placed. Researchers observed each quadrat for forty second intervals. The Recognizable Taxonomic Unit of each insect was recorded as well as its abundance. Total abundance and diversity were also determined. Only insects that were found inside the quadrats were studied regardless of whether or not the insects remained in the quadrat for the full forty second time interval. Flying insects and insects outside of the quadrats were not recorded.

title: Surveying Different Insects Using Pan Traps

description: Researcher's went to York University's Grassland's and Woodlots and surveyed different insects using pan traps. A total of 18 bowls(pans) of different colours were taken to set up these pan traps. There was an even amount of each colour: white blue and yellow to make a total of 18 bowls.A jug of soapy water was also filled and taken to do this survey.First the bowls were placed at the Grassland's in a pattern:white,blue,yellow,white,blue... linearly on the ground 1 m away from each other. They were each then filled quarter way with soapy water. The remaining 9 bowls were placed in the same pattern in the Woodlots. The bowls were not disturbed for about 2 hours. After the two hours, the researcher's went back and collected data based on what they saw in the pan traps.

title: research on the abundance and diversity of the insects of both grassland and woodland

description: A study was conducted on September 30, 2014 in Boyer woodlot at keele campus around 2:50pm. In this study the abundance and diversity of the insects of both grassland and woodland were conducted. Researchers used quadrat for recording their data .Each quadrat was placed randomly for a minute. This procedure was repeated 10 times in grass wood and 10 times in woodland.

title: Birds species and frequency of sightings at Keele Campus,York University.

description: To estimate birds diversity and abundance in different habitat located at York University (4700 Keele Street,Toronto, ON M3J 1P3, Canada) , both frequency and bird species were recorded in the grassland east of Stong Pond (43°46'15.5"N 79°30'26.2"W) and in Saywell woodlot (43.770222-79.508942), on September 30th,2014 from 3:15 pm to 4:25 pm . The weather was cloudy with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. The tools used in this distance-based dataset were : a belt transect, a Bushnell Waterproof binoculars 8x42, a birds identification handbook and a watch. In total n= 10 transects ( denoted as “replicates”) were sampled,each of them was 25 meters in lenght ; n=5 of them sampled in the habitat “grassland” and n=5 of them sampled in the habitat “woodlot”. In every habitat, the first transect was placed randomly on the ground and we collected our variables(listed below) walking for 5 minutes along the transect in both directions.After 5 minutes, a new transect was placed 5 metres apart from the last one in a random direction and the sampling was repeated. Species were differentiated observing the morphology through the binoculars and using a birds identification handbook.It was assumed that birds which were more than 500 m away from the transect have not been identified. Distance from the transect to the bird or group of birds was approximated in meters (m) and not directly measured,using the binoculars. Abundance of birds was observed visually and counted looking from the transect location towards the sky, in every direction . Wind speed was determined using Beaufort Scale (0-12). At the moment of sampling,wind speed was under 1 mph (Beaufort Number: 0 ; Scaman's term: Calm ; Effects on land: calm,smoke rises vertically). Birds species observed included the following: Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) , Canadian Goose (Brenta canadensis) , House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) ,American Robin (Tardus migratorius).

title: Distance - Based Bird Identification

description: The woodlot and grassland areas near the danby woodlot region of York University were each sampled with 5 transects, for a total of 10 transects in order to identify bird species and their frequency. Each transect had a distance of 25 meters and while sampling for bird species, the rough distance to each bird, and the wind speed in the area was recorded in addition to the bird species seen and their frequency. During some of the transect repetitions, no birds were seen and therefore some transects reflect this phoenomenon with the caption "No Data".

An area in the grassland was randomly selected and a 25 meter transect was placed on the ground. A person walked along the transect for two minutes and moved the sweep net in the shape of an infinity symbol within 1 metre of the transect on both sides. This was repeated ten times in a new area of the grassland each time, recording total number of insects captured and total number of unique recognizable taxonomic units.

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 locations in the woodlot and 5 locations in the adjacent grassland. The researcher walked along the transect and observed the surrounding area for birds. Data for sighted birds included frequency of species, bird's common name, wind speed and estimated distance to the bird. Frequency of species was recorded by counting number of birds that were together in a group. The common name of the bird was determined by observing the bird's morphology and with reference to a bird guide. Wind speed was recorded using the Beaufort scale which divides wind speed into 13 different categories from 0 (no wind) to 12 (strongest winds).
