Examining Environmental Factors Affecting Fish Species in NYC
December 18, 2014
This group analyzed abiotic environmental factors between the bodies of water in CPL and NYBG. These included pH, dissolved solids, and visible pollution. The group also examined water samples for algae particles and microscopic pollution. These experiments coupled with statistical analysis of the 2013-2014 Bioblitz data give a clearer picture in determining the relationship between […]

Comparing Bird Diversity between The New York Botanical Garden and Central Park
December 18, 2014
Central Park and the New York Botanical Garden are home to over 200 different species of birds, providing them with food and natural habitat to flourish in. Bird diversity is important to us because birds aid in seed dispersal and enhance our city’s aesthetic value. The birds also provide ecosystem services. http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/seminar3posters/files/gravity_forms/1-f14ea90e75361cb91bd42582a860ee01/2014/12/PM-Birds.pdf Stephin Jose, David […]

Avian Adaptation in an Urban Environment
December 12, 2014
“We hypothesize that there will be a direct relationship between the amount of greenspace in a park and the amount of bird species in said park, working with the null hypothesis that the same number of bird species will be present in each park, regardless of the amount of greenspace.” http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/seminar3posters/files/gravity_forms/1-f14ea90e75361cb91bd42582a860ee01/2014/12/Avian-Allies-Represent-Google-Slides.pdf Kyle Williams, Allegra DePasquale, […]

Impact of Human Activity on Biodiversity in Central Park
December 12, 2014
“Our objective was to analyze the different types and population counts of species in Central Park and determine to what extent different human activity influences levels of species diversity throughout the park.” http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/seminar3posters/files/gravity_forms/1-f14ea90e75361cb91bd42582a860ee01/2014/12/FINISHED-MACAULAY-POSTER2.pdf Julia Buczynski, Katherine Chiu, Siena Edwards, Sherry Oommen Tara Cornelisse, Jennifer Corby Brooklyn College Biodiversity, Central Park, Human Activity, Google Earth, Bioblitz
