Project:

A comparison of leech biodiversity on steep and gradual sloped banks of a pond

Students:

Nathan Schaefer, Timothy Murphy, Timothy Nigrel

School:

Shoreham-Wading River High School, Suffolk

Mentors:

Dana Schaefer

Abstract:

The slope of a pond bank can impact the type of species that live on each bank. Leech species will be collected on two steep slopes and two shallow slopes of a freshwater pond on the Shoreham-Wading River high school campus. Biodiversity is expected to be higher on the shallow slopes.
