My research project focuses on how the presence of humans effects the number of different species found on the Thompson Rivers University campus. In theory in locations where there is a higher number of humans present, there will be more species which are known to thrive in urbanized environments (such as crows, magpies and pigeons). I will also be discussing how the vegetation and building type affects the species distribution of the three location on campus which were studied.
Three keywords which can be used to describe my research project are species distribution, anthropogenic influences, and population density.
