Ecology is the study of the relationships between the organisms and the environment, how the roles of each part of nature, whether abiotic or biotic, work together efficiently. At the BioBlitz event, I was able to witness and experience, first-hand, how biotic and abiotic factors are related in nature, namely insects and the environments in which they are found. Insects are found all over nature and they represent a group that has some of the largest diversity, not only in species, but also in how they function in nature.
Just a few of the specimens found during BioBlitz that contribute to and play important roles in the ecosystem in Alley Pond. #BCSFH2O pic.twitter.com/elzgDXIfUJ
