For my research project, I observed how the presence of dogs might impact the time an American Robins (Turdus migratorius) spends foraging at Derby Reach Regional Park in Langley, BC. I observed the foraging time at two locations: in the dog park and the nearby meadow. I hypothesize that the amount of time a Robin spends foraging in the meadow will differ from the dog park. I predict that the length of time a Robin spends foraging in the meadow will be greater than in the dog park due to the greater number of dogs present in the dog park than in the meadow. The ecological process reflected from the study focuses on community ecology and the interactions between species.
Keywords: American Robins, dogs, foraging, and parklands.
You are going to have to expand quite a bit on the theoretical background for your introduction and discussion of your paper.
