Designing a randomized experiment in urban forest biodiversity.
Ecology students used a grid system to randomly choose camera sites in the Preserve to compare biodiversity in areas closer and farther away from campus. They analyzed species diversity and conducted animal trace transects at the camera trap sites.
Nocturnal, Diurnal, or Corpuscular?
Environmental Biology students analyzed a month of photographs and categorized them by species. They then mapped the time of activity for each species to examine overlapping and partitioned niches and the way different animal guilds (such as insectivores, carnivores, and grazers) use the same area.
