In the table I have gathered information on the abundance of different moth species in four distinct zones, designated T1 through T4, and presented it in the table. Every zone on the research site, such as the area around Duck Pond, the flower garden, the Bloedel Conservatory, and the sections with big trees, reflects a different place. The total number of observed species (Sum) and their presence in each zone (T1-T4) are shown in the table. Asterisks (*) indicate presence, and blanks indicate absence. By analyzing the distribution patterns of moth species across a range of environments, this extensive data collection effort aimed to provide insight into the biological processes and interactions that exist within the local ecosystem.
I have carefully recorded the presence and abundance of rare moth species in each of the study area’s zones using a graphical representation. I gathered information and divided the uncommon species into ten different species to produce a bar graph that shows the populations of each species. The graph shows the different populations clearly, with 1 centimeter on the x-axis representing one species and 10.5 cm on the y-axis representing 20 moths. For example, the Variable Carpet Moth had the lowest population of only 5 moths, while the American Brindle Moth had the highest population of 160 moths. Similarly, I noted a large number of species, including the 3.2K-strong Pale Beauty (Campaea perlata), 400-strong Single-dotted Wave (Idaea dimidiata), 800-strong Brown-lined Looper (Neoalcis californiaria), and 1.8K-strong Large Gray Dagger (Acronicta insita). For these, a scale was employed in the graph, with one species represented by each unit on the x-axis and 200 moths represented by each unit on the y-axis. Understanding the ecological balance and the elements manipulating the dominance of some species over others is made easier with the aid of this study.
In addition, I noted moth populations in different parts of the study region. There were 1.5K moths seen at the Duck Pond, compared to a much larger population of 2.5K moths at the Flower Garden. With 4.0K moths, the area with large trees had the biggest population, according to the 2K moths that the Bloedel Conservatory recorded. These findings highlight how different environments have variable densities of moths and, the importance of the impact of particular environmental features on moth populations.
