Blog Post 7: Theoretical Perspectives
My research project is based on the theory of habitat selection and how it can influence species occurrence. My hypothesis is that spotted towhee (Pipilo maculatus) presence is influenced by…

Based on habitat selection theory, this study explores how different habitat structures affect the distribution and abundance of birds. According to the niche theory, different bird species occupy different resource…

Through my theory I am trying to explore ecological processes underlying how environmental factors such as habitat composition ad anthropogenic disturbances, shape behaviour of the species. When we see, chickadees…

Theoretical Basis The foundation of this research lies in the principles of community ecology, particularly the idea that abiotic factors, such as soil moisture, act as environmental filters that influence…
Blog Post 7 Theoretical Perspectives – Arctic Ecosystems
The theoretical basis is surrounding sun exposure and chlorophyll uptake affecting revegetation after a disturbance in an arctic ecosystem. Keywords surrounding this would be arctic ecosystems, revegetation, and disturbance.
Theoretical Perspectives
The theoretical basis of my research project centers on understanding how human activity influences squirrel species density. My hypothesis predicts that squirrel density will increase with increasing levels of human…

Key words: Coastal wetland, Invasive species, exclusion zone My ecological study is focusing on invasive species. Even though Canada Geese are native to Vancouver Island, they too were introduced…
Theoretical Perspectives
Emily Browne Keywords: Elevational gradient, forest density, stem diameter My hypothesis is concerned with adaptation to local environments, which on a larger scale would be survival of the fittest and…
Blog Post 7: Theoretical Perspective
The idea for my field research project came from enjoying the view of birds in my backyard feasting on the fruit trees before I ever started this course. I noticed…

My study looks at how the presence or absence of birds affects bird species richness and abundance. I am exploring whether birds view domestic house dogs as a threat. The…
