Abstract:

Fort Totten Park has undergone a revitalization in the last few years. It is heavily trafficked by local residents. It is also home to many mosquitoes and vector-borne diseases that are regularly sprayed for each year. We aim to investigate the biodiversity of invertebrates around the constructed buildings found in the park to see if the spraying for these invertebrates is successful.
