Data Collection
For my I sampled 30 replicates at each elevation (low, mid and high). I randomly selected the placement of 10 quadrats along each transect, and had 3 transects per elevation….
Post 1 Observations – My Backyard
Blog Post 1: Observations The location I have chosen for the field research project is my backyard in suburban Melbourne, Australia. My backyard is not terribly large, about an area…
Post 9- Field Research Reflections
I have gained a lot throughout the process of designing and implementing the field research project. Initially, I did encounter some difficulties in implementing my design so I had to…
Field Research Reflection – Jessica Livingston
After creating an experimental design and carrying it out, on whether different-sized bur oaks have an effect on surrounding species density and diversity. There were some practical senses in the…
Blog Post 8: Table
I created a table using the data that I had collected. I did not have any difficulty in organizing my data as it was relatively simple and it was originally…
Post 7: Theoretical Perspectives
For my research project, I’m exploring how flower colour influences bee behaviour, specifically looking at how the number of bee visits changes based on the colour of the flower. This…
Tables and Graphs – Jessica Livingston
I created a table which included Shannon’s diversity index, species density (measured as plants per square foot), and frequency (as a percentage) for both the overstory and shrubstory. The challenges…
Theoretical Perspectives
I am studying how the densities of sandbar willow vary at different distances from the waterbody. Abundance of species in any specific area can depend on various factors, such as…
Theoretical Perspectives – Jessica Livingston
I am studying the ecological basis of density vegetation diversity and density that grows near different-sized Bur Oak Trees. When studying the diversity and density of species offers insight into…
