Insect Data from Grassland and Woodland Quadrat Samples

Data was collected using ten quadrat samples taken in both a grassland and woodland area in Toronto Ontario. The quadrants were used to observe species identity, number of insects in each species, total number of species, and the total number of insects. The data included insects in the quadrat ground area and insects flying within a meter above the quadrat. This data was collected by P Chow, N Gajendran, C Lau, and T Sequeira who all had designated roles in the data collection process. N Gajendran took five steps in any direction in attempt to keep quadrant sampling relatively random. N Gajendran identified a species while P Chow counted the number of insects in the quadrat of that species. T Sequeira identified flying species flying within a meter above the quadrat while C Lau counted the number of insects of that species. Data was recordedand number of insects of each species were added to record total number of insects within quadrat area.
