My hypothesis is that Daphne and Salal would be equally abundant at lower elevations and higher elevations. However, we found that the abundance of Daphne and Salal was greater at…

The theoretical basis of my research project is how abiotic factors such as the presence of water and topography influence vegetation distribution and abundance. Some ecological processes that…
Theoretical Perspectives: Bird Behavior
Three words I would use to describe the research I am conducting would be: Competition Habitat Structure Behavior When initially coming up with the topic for my hypothesis, it seemed…
Dominant Vegetation Species
Create a blog post where you briefly discuss the theoretical basis of your research project. Growing up near this piece of land, I have seen the terrain change drastically over…
Theoretical Perspectives
For my research, I was interested in insect herbivory on plants and wanted to see how it changed throughout the seasons and if environmental factors such as the latitude of…
Theoretical Perspectives on Red-winged blackbird aggression
My research focuses on aggression in Red-winged blackbirds in relationship to female and male densities. Aggression has been noted both females and males and has been associated with sexual selection…

My research based on the relationship between the global climate change and natural species. I focused on analyzing the arrival time of migratory bird species to determine the impact from…
Theoretical Perspectives
My research focuses on the relationship between habitat quality and squirrel population. The ideas that underpin my research is that squirrels will favour areas with greater number of fruit/nut trees….
Blog Post 7: Theoretical Perspectives: Invasive Species Changing Zonation and Finding Niches
My research project looks at the distribution of forest floor plants in relation to canopy coverage and moisture, with nearby trees serving as a proxy. I suspect that zonation is…
Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis in Riparian Systems
The basis of my research project is the relationship between natural disturbances and species richness. The river creates a natural opening in the canopy that can be occupied by species…
