1. First, make a hypothesis about the diversity of spiders in the ( habitats A&B) without looking at the spider habitat sheet ... Which habitat do you think will be more diverse in terms of spiders?
If there are more vegetation, then there is more insert, predator, and diversity. Habitats A is more diversity than habitat B
Table 1:
Habitat A Total # of spiders. Which species. How many of each species
Quadrat 1. 7. A,B,C,D. A:1 B:2 C:2 D:2
Quadrat 2. 6. B,C,D. A:0 B:1 C:2 D:3
Quadrat 3. 7. A,B,C,D. A:1 B:1 C:3 D:2
Total. 20. A,B,C,D. A:2 B:4 C:7 D:7
Table 2:
Habitat B. Total # of spiders. Which species. How many do each species
Quadrat 1. 4. D, B. A:0 B:1 C:0 D:3
Quadrat 2. 1. C. A:0 B:0 C:1 D:0
Quadrat 3. 6. C,D. A:0 B:0 C:4 D:2
Total. 11. B,C,D. A:0 B:1 C:5 D:5
2. How mayy species of spiders did you find in...
Habitat A:4. Habitat B: 3
3. What was the average number of spiders you found per Quadrat?
Habitat A :6.67. Habitat B : 3.67
4. Twelve Quadrat can fit in this area. How many spiders do you estimate are found in the whole area?
Habitat A : 26.68. Habitat B : 14.68
5. Look at the bottom sheet of paper with the spiders on it. How many spiders are there in...
Habitat A:22. Habitat B:20
6. was your estimate close to the actual number of spiders in the area?
No, my estimate was not close to the actual number of spiders in the area because my estimate numbers were larger than the actual number abound 4 and 6.
7. Why might there be a difference between your sample estimate and the actual number?
There are mistake when I count or calculate.
Table 3. Habitat A. Habitat B
Species A. 2. 0
Species B. 4. 1
Species C. 7. 5
Species D. 7. 5
Total. 20. 11
Table 4. Habitat A. Habitat B
Species A. 0.1. 0
Species B. 0.2. 0.09
Species C. 0.35. 0.45
Species D. 0.35. 0.45
Total. 1. 0.99
8. Based on the proportions you just calculate (table 4) do you think the species are evenly distributed within the habitats?
Habitat A: yes, between A and B
Habitat B: yes, between C and D
9. Is this what you think it would be like in nature? Why?
Yes, because in nature have many species live in ecosystem.
10. Was your original hypothesis supported by the data you collected today? Why?
My original hypothesis supported by the data I collected today because there are more diversity in habitat in A and B.
11. What did you learn about doing a biodiversity Quadrat study?
I learn how diversity have more species than other habitat? And how to estimate the population of a species through quadrat?
If there are more vegetation, then there is more insert, predator, and diversity. Habitats A is more diversity than habitat B
