title: Relationship Between Number of Insects and Vegetation Density in a woodland at York University

description: This study examines the relationship between number of insects and vegetation density within 3 different plots in each dense and sparse vegetation. <br><br>Methods:<br><br>-18 cups of 3 different colours were spread equally between sparse and dense vegetation and placed in groups of 3. <br>-Both sparse and dense vegetation had 3 plots each. Each plot contained 3 cups, one of each color. <br>-Each cup was filled with roughly 60 ml of soap water. <br>The cups were left for about an hour. <br>-After an hour the number of insects within each plot were counted. <br>-The data were ploted on an excel sheet and posted to figshare.<br>Hypothesis:<br>There is a correlation between vegetation density and number of insects.<br><br>Prediction: <br><br>There should be a correlation between vegetation density and number of insects because the thicker the vegetation, the more suitable the habitat is for the species of insects. Therefore the number of insects is expected to increase with thicker vegetation because the increased vegetation provides shelter from predators and increased nutrition and better nest positions.<br><br>Metadata:<br><br>Plot: A given area of land be it dense or sparse within the woodland area.<br><br>Number of insects: Total number of insects from the 3 different cups in each plot.<br><br>Insects' Species: Specie of each insect observed.<br><br><br><br>

description: <b>Hypothesis</b>: Insects are more attracted to brightly-coloured than dark-coloured bowls. <b>Prediction</b>: I will find more insects floating in the yellow bowl. I will find little to no insects floating on the blue bowls. <b>Methods:</b>1.) 10 coloured bowls (3 yellow, 3 blue and 4 white) were placed on a grassland and another 10 (3 yellow, 3 blue and 4 white) were placed on a woodlot from 3:25 to 4:25. The grassland and woodland were located near Keele and York Blvd. at York University, Keele Campus. Each bowl had a diameter of 17.5 cm and a depth of 4.5 cm. The bowls were randomly spaced 0.5m apart. The conditions can be described as partially cloudy. 2.) Each bowl was filled with approximately 40 mL of soap water.3.) After 1 hour has elapsed. the number of insects floating in the soap water of each coloured bowl was counted and tabulated. The data was uploaded to figshare. <b>Meta data:</b> Habitat: the location where the bowl was placed. It can be placed either on grassland or woodlot. It is categorical. Colour of Bowl: the bowl can be white, blue or yellow. It is categorical. Number of Insects: defined as the number of insects floating in the bowl. It is continuous. Number of species: defined as the number of unique species seen in the bowl. It is continuous.

title: Relationship between insect density and different vegetation density in a disturbed grassland setting near York University Keele campus

description: The study examines the relationship of insect density relative to their vegetation density in a disturbed grassland setting.<br>Methods:18 different trays of various colours (blue, white, and yellow) were place in groups of 3 with a half meter separation around the grassland area. Of the 6 total groups 3 of them were in areas where there was a high level of vegetation density. while the other 3 were placed in sparse areas of vegetation density. Each of the 18 trays were filled with roughly 60ml of soap+water solution. After roughly 1 and a half hours each of the 6 sites are examined.<br>Record total number of insects observed, and number of species observed. Record data on an Excel spreadsheet<br>Hypothesis: There will be a more insects observed in dense areas of vegetation as opposed to sparse areas of vegetation.<br>Prediction: There will be a higher density of insects in a dense grasslands because of the amount of protection that the flora gives to the insects. Therefore, there will be a positive co-relation between dense vegetation areas and the number of insects observed within a group of pan traps.<br>Metadata:<br>1)Plots: Six groups of pan traps each containing 3 trays were divided into two areas. Three groups were placed specifically in an area of sparse vegetation density, and three were placed in areas of dense vegetation.<br><br>2)Total Number of Insects: The number of insects observed in the pan-traps within each area of the disturbed grassland environment.<br><br>3)Total Number of Species: The number of insect species observed within each area of the disturbed grassland environment.

description: The purpose of this lab was to identify and compare the number of insects in each quadrat of the grassland and woodlot. The data of this experiment was collected from the grassland lot located at York University Keele Campus (43.7 degrees North, 75.9 degrees West), between York Blvd and Keele St. at 3:00pm. It was 22°C outdoors in the grassland and woodlot. very sunny and quite chilly. The quadrat was randomly placed on the ground in the grassland and woodlot, and the total number of living insects of different species in total in the quadrat were counted by observation and recorded in a table. The quadrat was randomly placed in 10 different spots in the grassland and woodlot and the data were all recorded on the same table for each quadrat, for a total of 20 trials. All the data was collected in a notebook. The experiment was 30 minutes long. Each of the 20 quadrats used in the experiment was measured using measuring tape. Each quadrat had an area of 1m<sup>2</sup>, therefore a total of 20m<sup>2 </sup>of quadrats were used. It was hypothesized that there would be higher number of insects in the grassland while the woodlot would have a lower number of insects. The data supports the hypothesis. Since there is direct sunlight, more grass as well as higher pollination rate of the plants occurs in the grassland compare to the woodlot, there are more insects in grassland than woodlot. <br> <br>

description: Description:This study was conducted on September 27<sup>th</sup>, 2016, in order to measure the frequency of different bird species in the grasslands, in comparison to the woodlots, at the York University Campus, from 3:30-4:25 pm. Location of Field Site: Data was collected at York University, specifically at Keele St. and York Blvd. at a Latitude and Longitude of 43.77, -79.49, respectively. This data was obtained utilizing Google Maps. Temperature: The temperature was approximately 22˚C. The skies were partly cloudy with some visible sunlight, at the site of study. Wind speed was assigned a Beaufort number of 4, for a moderate breeze of approximately 13-18 mph. Methods: In order to determine the frequency of bird species spotted, this field experiment was conducted utilizing belt transects, which measured an area of 25m. Data was obtained from the grasslands from 3:30- 3:55pm, and from the woodlots from 4:00-4:25 pm. Approximately 25 minutes were spent in each habitat. An area in the grassland or woodlot was randomly selected, and a transect tape was placed on the ground. An individual would walk along this transect measuring tape, and would record the frequency at which bird species could be seen, on either side of the transect, by counting. This was repeated a total of 5 times, in each habitat. Therefore, 10 transects were conducted in total. Each trial was 5 minutes in duration. Furthermore, along with frequency of species, the researcher also recorded, the number of birds and the number of species. Additionally, wind speed was determined using the Beaufort scale. The Beaufort scale ranges from 0, which is labeled as calm to 12, which is defined as hurricane force. These methods were repeated in both habitats. Key to Variables: Frequency of bird species was a continuous and quantitative variable in this study. Specifically, frequency was determined by counting the number of birds of a certain species seen. Predictions: It is predicted that there will be a greater frequency of bird species in the woodlots, in comparison to the grasslands. Hypothesis: It was hypothesized that the woodlots will exhibit a greater frequency of bird species, where as grasslands will have a lower frequency, as the woodlots provide a source of food, protection, and shelter for bird species, which is necessary for continued survival.
