Assessment 2 Biodiversity Measurement and Assessment Report
This student studied:
University of New South Wales - BIOS1301 - Ecology, Sustainability and Environmental Science
Differences in biodiversity of two habitat types, leaf litter and light trap (flying invertebrates) are investigated in this report. The experiment involves the collection of invertebrates between deep leaf litter (rainforest) and shallow leaf litter (eucalyptus forest) habitat to calculate the abundance, species richness and diversity, and compare the values across two sample sites. Specifically, discussed is whether there is a difference between the biodiversity in the two types of leaf litter and whether there a difference between flying invertebrate and leaf litter invertebrate communities within the same habitat and any adaptations that account for this. Lastly, the biases in experimental technique when collecting the leaf litter and light trap samples will be analysed. There is also a big difference in the numbers of sample size between my group and other groups caused by the limitation of time of the experiment, which some groups needed to estimate the number of invertebrate instead of counting accurately.

This document is the report I wrote for the second assignment. I did pretty well getting 33/35 so hope this helps.
Assignment 2 BIOS1301 scientific report
This student studied:
University of New South Wales - BIOS1301 - Ecology, Sustainability and Environmental Science
Differences in biodiversity of two habitat types, leaf-litter and flying invertebrates are investigated. The experiment involves the collection of invertebrates between Casuarina pine plant community and rainforest habitat to calculate the abundance, species richness and diversity, and compare across two sample sites. From the collection of leaf litter invertebrates, Casuarina pine found to be more abundant than rainforest invertebrate, which is opposite to a study of many literatures, this might result from the experiment that was conducted during the wet season which created the ineffectiveness in dry habitat sample. The light trap method also results similarly, the dry sample site is more abundant than the wet environment due to the decline in flying insects’ activities in the humid habitat. There are also huge differences in the numbers of sample size between mine and other groups caused by the limitation of time of the experiment, which some groups needed to estimate the number of invertebrate instead of counting accurately.

BIOS1301 summary study noteds Introduction to ecology and sustainability Ecology and environment Environment Abiotic (non-living) – water, light, temperature, topography. Biotic (living) – food availability, predators, competitors, mates. Level of ecological organization • Organism – living organisms, fundamental units of populations and communities. • Populations – group of individuals of a species living in one place at a time (one species). • Communities – assemblages of species populations occurring together in space and time (multiple species). • Landscapes – spatially connected parts of the environment. Population dynamics • Gains – birth, immigration • Losses – death, emigration Biodiversity • Genetic variability • Species richness • Functional diversity • Gradient diversity • Community diversity • Landscape diversity Food webs and energy flow • Species in a community are divided into different trophic levels based on the main source of nutrition.
