My field of data collection was the dense thickets in Prince Rupert. The area has an oceanic climate, and it can also be described as a temperate rainforest. The biodiversity in the area is outstanding as there is a very high diversity in the species of trees, animals, insects, and vegetative cover, which create a typical forest ecosystem.
During the sampling process, I selected four different replicates for sampling. This ensured that the sample was large enough and that there was a high validity in the research. This is because there were multiple samples of the same population. Additionally, the samples were collected at different times and on different days to ensure that the difference in the weather did not affect the validity of the research. The only problem I experienced in implementing the sampling design was the complexity of the sample and the geographical inaccessibility of some of the sampling areas. As a result, the sampling time was longer than expected. Based on the findings from the various samples that were collected in the area, the null hypothesis holds that an increase in temperature results in an increase in food and favorable temperature for wasps to breed and an increase in population.
