data on insect diversity and bird abundance

Our group is using quadrats and transect as sampling method to exam: 1. the number of different bird species and totoal number of individuals of each bird species. 2. number of different insect species and totoal number of individuals of each insect species. The data are collected on two habitat types: grassland and woodlot. First, we will be using 10 quadrats, which is one meter squared in area, to measure insect diversity on both sites. Specifically, the quadrate will be randomly placed at 10 different positions on the field and all the species identified in each one will be counted. Secondly, we will be using 10 transects per habitat to measure bird species. The transect will be randomly placed at 10 different spots at each habitat, and for every transect, we walk 25 metres and visually count the bird species using the help of a binocle. Last but not least, we also note the abiotic factors that might influence the data, such as temperature and wind speed.
