Title: THE EFFECT OF GROUND COVER AND TEMPERATURE ON INSECT DISTRIBUTION


1
THE EFFECT OF GROUND COVER AND TEMPERATURE ON
INSECT DISTRIBUTION
  • BY CHRISTIANE GIOPPO
  • INGRID IMENEZ
  • ANDREW CHIARAVIGLIO

2
ABSTRACT
  • Vegetation cover was mapped together with soil
    temperature data and animal types to determine
    whether they are interrelated. The edge effect
    and the presence of abundant leaf litter were
    among the most important factors contributing to
    high insect diversity. Sampling techniques and
    scientists fatigue also affected the results.

3
QUESTIONS
  • Does Vegetation Cover affect insect diversity?
  • Does temperature affect insect diversity?
  • Does Vegetation Cover affect temperature?

4
HYPOTHESES
  • Vegetation Cover affects insect species diversity
    and distribution
  • Temperature is affected by vegetation cover
  • Temperature affects insect species and
    distribution

5
PROCEDURE
  • Collect area and spatial data on vegetation cover
    using 10 x 10 grid.
  • Collect abiotic data on same grid.
  • Collect animal distribution and species data.
  • Map using GIS Software.

CONCLUSION
  • The edge effect was significant in contributing
    to animal diversity.
  • The presence of large amounts of decomposing
    organic material contributed to high insect
    diversity.
  • Sampling techniques and scientists fatigue may
    have affected the results.
