Biodiversity Index and a Bird Survey

Here is my lecture on calculating the biodiversity index.  Please take notes on this lecture and be ready for our quiz on Friday.

 

Write a one page summary of all the birds which you observed on two sites:

1.  Gladstone school grounds

2.  Trout Lake

Tally the birds, upload your photos and hypothesize as to why certain birds are observed

in each area.  

key question, to be answered in paragraph form:

  What abiotic factors and biotic factors are supporting the 

bird species which you observe?  

include any photos you took. 

Calculate the Simpson's biodiversity Index for each site. 

Show your work (the math).
