Fieldwork Ecology experiments

Question

Hi,

What kind of Fieldwork Ecology experiments can you do?

There are plenty of rabbits, geese, swans, moorhens and ducks around here.

Thank you!

Answer 1

There are so many! Look at what kinds of plants geese seem to prefer vs what swans and ducks prefer. Look at whether the presence of another species (eg geese/swans/hens) affects whether ducks will go there, and same for the other species. Look at whether rabbits are responsive to bird calls (like for danger), i.e. if a bird gives a danger call do the rabbits notice, and run, or do they ignore the birds altogether?

That's just a few off the top of my head. Hope it helps!
