(Q1) Species of Plant that dominate Rainforest Gallery - Mount Donna Buang

# data[].attributes.body
(Q2) To discover the dominant species that cover the forests of Mount Donna Buang - we identify the species that are present and calculate the coverage abundance of plant species in a given random area multiple times

(Q3) This survey is to be taken within the confines of the Rainforest Gallery trail in Mount Donna Buang

(Q4) Dicksonia Antarctica and Eucalyptus Regnans would account for the majority of the coverage abundance

At home over the last week - white snapdragons
Effort was measured by the day, checked every morning
At first the flowers were fine and by day 3 few started showing signs of wilting, this rate exponentially increased until overnight it seemed like the whole last half of remaining flowers died
Almost kind of the opposite of the population count done in prac last week where the start was exponential then flattened. Would be interesting to measure the rate of blossoming at the start of a flowering period and maybe even measuring it at smalled time intervals (even day and night instead of 24hrs to get more accurate data)

Number of plant species next to the train tracks

Number of plant species next to the train tracks

# data[].attributes.body
1) Plantae
2) 27/10/2020 in a strip of grass next to the train tracks near my house
3) I counted the number of different looking plants in a 2m x 2m area. I based the differences on leaf form, flowers, and overall morphology.
4) I found 6 different species, with a clover-looking species the most dominant (largest percentage cover).
5) It would be better if I knew the names of the different species instead of just eye-balling it.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Plant species (Angiosperms)
2. At Belmore park a few days ago
3. Species richness found in each of the native beds
4.  There was very little difference in species richness between the multiple beds at the park, even with slight variation in size
5. Could compare the species richness in the beds (native revegetation zones) to other parks with non-native vegetation.

Invertebrates species found in pot plant

Invertebrates species found in pot plant 

# data[].attributes.body
Tax: invertebrate: insects
Where: Backyard
How: 10mins observation (12pm)
What: a group of 10 ants at the top of the plant. 3 slaters (i think) in the top soil.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Taxonomic group: Ducks (Family: Anatidae)
2. When: 18/10 morning (around 10 am) during a 30 min walk
Where: Queen's Park, Moonee Ponds
3. Number of ducks observed during the walk
4. Larger numbers of ducks observed (> 50), species include native ducks (Pacific black ducks, Australian wood ducks, chestnut teals, hardheads) and introduced ducks (Muscovy ducks, khaki campbells) Most abundant: Pacific black ducks
5. I will survey the abundance of each species instead of the total abundance of all duck species, then I can find the ratio of native ducks: introduced ducks.

Number of individual bivalves and gastropods I found within 4m2 on Surfers Paradise main beach

# data[].attributes.subject
Number of individual bivalves and gastropods I found within 4m2 on Surfers Paradise main beach

# data[].attributes.body
1. birds

2. 14 - 28 Oct, International House Parkville, tree right outside Wadham

3. Number of observations made a day

4. More frequent observations = more birds spotted, Rainbow lorikeets mostly come in pairs and the red wattlebird seems to be very territorial

5. More consistent way of measuring effort by also recording the times where no birds were seen and ask a friend from a different room to help with the survey as it is very difficult to identify and spot a bird on the other side of the tree as more leaves starts to grow in spring

Number of Eucalyptus globulus trees found on a neighbourhood walk.

Number of Eucalyptus globulus trees found on a neighbourhood walk.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Eucalyptus trees, specifically Eucalyptus globulus trees.

2. The study was completed in Keysborough South, during a 25 minute walk (Total distance 1.18 km) in the local area.

3. The study counted the number of Eucalyptus globulus that were passed during the walk, with trees on either side of the road being counted. During the walk, every time I walked past a Eucalyptus globulus tree, it was recorded in notebook.

4. A total of 115 Eucalyptus globulus were counted, with a particularly higher density of trees in the park area.

5.If I was to do this again, I would probably extend the walking time and try to make the route a little longer and more including of different environmental features, so that a representative sample of the number of Eucalyptus globulus in the area could have been obtained.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Humans
2. Front verandah Tues 27/10 5:10-5:40pm
3. 30 mins
4. 10 cyclists (4 men, 4 women, 2 children)
17 on foot (9 men, 8 women)
5. I was curious to know how many people went out for a walk straight after the socio-cultural norm time of finishing work (5pm), it would be interesting to see how this differed at a different time of day

# data[].attributes.body
1. Taxonomic group.=. birds.
2. Completed this study at my house yesterday.
3. Numbers of birds from each species seen throughout the day.
4. Most frequent were magpies and rosellas, I also had two blue wrens who visit my house frequently  and an indian minor attempt to attack my window.
5. Spend more time sampling

Here I will provide brief instructions on how to add a post to this padlet.

To get started, click the pink plus icon to the bottom right of screen. Give your study a neat title and upload a pic if you've got one, so that it will stick out from the crowd!

As you can see, I've included an example of how you might post your study (this example was based on my MSc research at unimelb). We've set it up so that you will present your study in response to the following five questions (one comment response for each question):

1. What broad taxonomic group did you decide to sample?

2. When and where did you complete the study?

3. How did you measure effort?

4. What did you find?

5. If you were going to do this again, what would you change?

To make comments, there's a text box icon on the bottom right of the post. Please stick to the ordering of the questions as it will make it easier for your peers to compare yours and other studies :)

Please don't spend too much time entering a response to each question, as you still have other things to do in the prac! One to two minutes writing a response for each question is fine.

Happy padleting!
