Project:

Insect Diversity Response in a Rewilded Garden

Students:

Nicole Codianni, Kaley Skarren

School:

Long Beach High School, Nassau

Mentors:

Cody Onufrock

Abstract:

Diversity tends to increase with time during secondary succession. This study aims to calculate insect diversity or a rewilded fallow garden area during early succession and compare that to adjacent field areas. The unique climate of the barrier island and location within developed suburbia may influence this diversity.
