Answer

  1. Question: Which site has the most bird richness?
    • Claim: Site 2 has the most bird richness.
    • Evidence: At Site 1, there are 254 birds belonging to 27 species. At Site 2, there are 288 birds belonging to 30 species. Since 30 species > 27 species, Site 2 has more species - indicating higher bird richness.
  2. Question: In Evans Parkway area, which species has the most relative abundance?
    • Claim: House Sparrow has the most relative abundance in the Evans Parkway area.
    • Evidence: In the Evans Parkway area, the number of House Sparrows counted is 15. For other species: Mourning Dove - 4, Chimney Swift - 2, Red - bellied Woodpecker - 2, Fish Crow - 9, American Robin - 6. Since 15 is the highest count among these species in Evans Parkway, House Sparrow has the most relative abundance.
  3. Question: Which location has the most species richness?
    • Claim: Apper Hill has the most species richness.
    • Evidence: Evans Parkway has 29 identified species, while Apper Hill has 48 identified species. Since 48>29, Apper Hill has more species and thus higher species richness.
  4. Question: Which location has the most relative abundance of species based on the data provided?
    • First, calculate the total number of birds in each location:
      • For Evans Parkway: (4 + 2+2 + 9+6 + 15=38).
      • For Apper Hill: (2+5 + 7+11+10+1 = 36).
    • Claim: Evans Parkway has the most relative abundance of species.
    • Evidence: The total number of birds counted in Evans Parkway is 38, and in Apper Hill is 36. A higher total number of individuals in Evans Parkway indicates a higher relative abundance of species overall in that location.
