ecology lab report

In this study, we examined the relationship between the diversity of bird species and diversity of insects species. In order to perform this experiment, we investigated two different study sites which were the woodlot and the grassland at York University, Keele campus. In each site, we used 10 different quadrats (each 1mx1m) to count the number of each insect species and we ran 10 transects using measuring tape to count the number of sighted individual bird species as we walked along each transect. This experiment was performed on Friday October 24,2014 at York University, Keele campus. The weather condition was about 9 degree celsius, wind speed 21 km/h and it was at 10:50 am.
