Plant or animal species to be studied: Daphnia, rotifers, fly larvae, seed shrimp, other non-vertebrate organisms in pHake Lake.
Will any plants or animals be collected? I want to collect water samples from pHake Lake, <1 L a day. The water samples are expected to contain various microscopic organisms such as the ones listed above. I will take care not to collect any vertebrates. Students will analyze the organisms present in the samples using dissecting and compound microscopes. This sample size will be enough for ~35 students per day to look at samples under both types of microscopes.
Will any vertebrate animals be collected or manipulated? NO
Will flags or markings be used? NO

Description of project/event:

I will collect lake water from the north and south sides of the lake each morning. During lab in the afternoon, students will learn about the BFS and pHake lake and be shown pictures of the area. (Students will not be going to the BFS themselves.) They will be asked to come up with hypotheses about the differences in lifeforms between the north and south parts of the lake. They will then be shown basic microscope use and analyze the water samples with compound and dissecting microscopes to evaluate their hypotheses.

Week of Oct 9, groups of 3-4 students each (12 groups total across 2 lab sections) independently find a spot of interest and sit and observe while noting their ecological observations and taking pictures for about 1 hour, resulting in research questions and hypotheses. Students will choose a spot not actively being used for research. Student groups will then meet with the instructor and design an experiment based on their observations; the experiment may or may not be chosen to be performed November 6-29. For any experiments that will be performed, a separate research use request will be submitted.

Description of project/event:
Big picture idea is that human disturbance (such as urbanization, many agricultural activities, etc.) causes negative effects on the quality of the natural and native habitat and thus on the diversity of the native species of that habitat. We will each spend 22 minutes, starting at the same time of day, in three predetermined locations in the BFS. There will be two individuals at each location, and we will record bird individuals seen. We will repeat this over the course of a few weeks. We will observe/ record birds and their species seen from minute 0-2, minute 10-12, and minute 20-22. Based on our hypothesis we predict that we will see more bird diversity (as measured by the Shannon diversity index) present in the non-human disturbed habitat.

Confidential description of project/event:
They will just be looking and listening for birds.

Description of project/event:
This study focuses on interactions of different types of ants in their biotic environment. If we find that the Argentine black and red ants use the exact same ecological niche, it is likely that they can coexist. However, our prediction is that the Argentine ants are invasive and taking over the resources, making it harder for native species to forage and occupy a habitat. Our independent variable is going to be proximity to the pHlake. We will be measuring at distances of 5m, 25m, 45m, and 65m from the lake with observations taken in a 3m radius of those distances. Our second independent variable is the soil moisture, which we will record at the center radii spot of each site. Soil moisture will be a continuous variable and proximity to the lake is a categorical variable. Our dependent variable is the number of colonies of each ant species. Our research will show the current dynamic between the native and invasive species, and may allude to how the ant populations may change over time as invasive ants become more prevalent. Argentine Black Ants are currently one of the most invasive species in the world, and their presence can greatly disrupt local ecosystems. Studying ant behavior at the RCC can be a microcosm in showing the danger of invasive species in destroying local habitats.

Confidential description of project/event:
They will just be looking and counting, not interfering with ants. They will be careful not to trample plants or encroach on other projects (or the vernal pool area) as they make their transects away from the pond.

Description of project/event:
Through our research at the Bernard Field Station (BFS), we will attempt to determine the impact of various levels of disturbance on arthropod species richness and composition. We will set pitfall traps at six different sites. Two of these sites will be close to the road, where the arthropods are exposed to fumes, noises, and other disturbances. The next two sites will be just off of paths within the BFS, which is exposed to people walking, biking, or potentially running other experiments. The final two sites will be in the least disturbed locations we can reasonably access within the BFS, some (yet to be determined) distance away from any paths. At each of the six sites, we will place multiple pitfall traps, designed to collect samples of the arthropods that are around that site. We hypothesize that the highest levels of species richness and composition will be found in the sites away from paths, and the lowest levels of species richness and composition will be found in the sites by the road.

Description of project/event:
Our project will investigate how proximity to roads affects plant biodiversity in the Bernard Field Station’s Coastal Sage Scrub community. We will observe plant species in two different areas of the field station: one area will be an intact Coastal Sage Scrub community close to the middle of the field station, and the other area will be a part of the community close to Foothill Boulevard. For each area of study, we will record the number of plant species, categorize these plants as native or non-native and as shrubs, grasses, or herbaceous plants, and record the sizes of these plants to assess their vitality. Our experiment will not require collection of any plant material. We hypothesize that plant biodiversity will decrease as we get closer to the road due to human disturbances, and we expect non-native plants with higher reproductive rates to overrun these disturbed communities near the road. Broadly, our experiment will help scientists better understand the effect of human disturbances on plant biodiversity.

Description of project/event:
In order to investigate how seed viability is influenced by seed depth in post-fire systems, we will be collecting soil samples at burned and adjacent unburned sage scrub sites corresponding to both the 2017 and 2013 fires at the BFS. We will separate samples into top and bottom soil (5cm and 10cm depth respectively), transfer soil to greenhouse for seed germination, and identify any viable species upon successful germination. We expect to see higher viability in unburned sites than in burned sites. Understanding viability trends in a fire-adapted and recovering sage scrub system will help inform succession predictions and can identify indirect effects of fire, such as presence and success of non-native species in the seed bank and legacy risks of type conversion.

Description of project/event:
We plan on having a paired research design with (n=20) research blocks, where we plan on collecting soil samples that may potentially have seeds for germination in the Pomona greenhouse. Our project is based on Cox and Allen (2007), but this project is limited to a portion of the semester. This project was designed to be feasible, but also explore gaps in knowledge concerning long-term postfire effects. We plan on collecting samples in a 50 mL storage bottle, with a paired research design.

Confidential description of project/event:
This is a group research project being done in fulfillment for Fire Ecology (BIOL105). Our research goal is to examine how does fire affect the relative densities of seeds in a coastal sage scrub (CSS) ecosystem. Specifically, we seek to assess how does liquid fire affect seed densities, and compare (1) how native shrub and annual grass seed densities vary from each other and (2) how seed densities vary from burned and unburned plots.

Description of project/event:
Research Question: Does fire have an effect on water use efficiency of plants at the BFS? Does this water efficiency differ depending on depth of plant species’ root systems? Hypothesis: Plants in burned areas will have higher -13C ratio than plants in the unburned plot because water stress is higher in burned areas (higher osmotic stress), so plants have to keep stomata closed to reduce evapotranspiration. Higher -13C indicates more carbon per gram of water, indicating that plants are keeping their stomata closed, and not as able to differentiate between carbon isotopes when binding with Rubisco. Methods: We will use the ratio of stable carbon isotopes 12C and 13C in specific plant species to see how they are different between burned (both 2013 and 2017 fire sites) and unburned areas.

Will any plants or animals be collected? Acmispon glaber Artemisia californica Baccharis pilularis Eriogonum fasciculatum Salvia mellifera Sample size = approximately 2000 seeds per species aggregated across five locations within the Field Station. Collections from any one plant will not exceed 10% of seeds estimated to occur on the plant. Sample size justification: I expect approximately 60-80% viability of seeds from these species. A conservative assumption of 60% viability would yield 1200 seeds per species, and with five collection locations per species, this equals 240 seeds of each treatment group (seed collection location per species), which will be used in three experiments: (1) a seed germination study, (2) a potted plant study, and (3) an agroecological study based in avocado and citrus orchards in the Santa Clara River Valley. Each experiment is described further below. I acknowledge that it is unlikely that Baccharis pilularis and Artemisia californica will be bearing seeds at this time, but if so they will be part of the collection. (1) seed germination study: - Research question = what is the genetic structure of seed traits (seed mass, germination proportion, and days-to-germination) within and among seed collection locations and provenances (comparing the BFS collections with those from the Angeles NF and elsewhere for each species)? - Estimated sample variance: For seed mass, germination proportion, and time-to-germination, I expect a sample variance of <0.001, 500.00, and 400.00, respectively (based on my recent seed trait research). - Sample size = 100 plants per group (2) study of potted plants in at Cal Poly greenhouses: - Research question = what is the genetic structure of plant allometry and functional traits (foliar biomass, root system biomass, leaf mass per area) in response to imposed pule-type drought within and among seed collection locations and provenances (comparing the BFS collections with those from the Angeles NF and elsewhere for each species)? - Estimated sample variance for foliar biomass = 4.00, root system biomass = 0.06, and leaf mass/area = <0.001 - Sample size = 15 plants (seeds) per group (3) study of plant traits in a hot and dry outdoor environment near Cal Poly: - Research question = what is the genetic structure of plant allometry and functional traits (foliar biomass, root system biomass, leaf mass per area) within and among seed collection locations and provenances (comparing the BFS collections with those from the Angeles NF and elsewhere for each species)? And how strongly does climate transfer distance influence plant functional traits and survival? - I expect that sample variances will be slightly inflated above the value of those shown in study #2 above due to the influence of environmental heterogeneity in the outdoor environment. - Sample size = 5 plants (seeds) per group in blocked study design including 4 sites (blocks)
Will any vertebrate animals be collected or manipulated? NO

Description of project/event:
Gambel’s White-crown Sparrow Winter Song and Behavior at the Bernard Field Station The purpose of this study is to determine if White-Crowned Sparrows practice territorial behavior over their winter singing locations, if winter singing sites are established, and if site selection plays a role in White-Crowned Sparrow song variation. As wintering grounds continue to be altered with changing environments, the impact it has on the winter singing process is essential to understand. Previous research supports that winter sites are essential for learning song, but the behavior associated with winter song of White-Crowned Sparrows is less studied. Because of this, it is predicted that the same males establish and maintain where they perform their song. Therefore, White-Crowned Sparrow males are territorial over acoustically stronger winter sites.

Plant or animal species to be studied: white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys), California towhees (Melozone crissalis)
Will any plants or animals be collected? A maximum of 50uL of blood will be taken from the brachial wing vein of white-crowned sparrows and California towhees. This sample will be used for 3 purposes: about 5uL will be put onto filter paper and used for genetic determination of sex, 5uL will be put onto a glass slide and used for parasite analysis, and the remaining blood will be used for additional parasite analyses after plasma is separated from red blood cells in a centrifuge. Number of birds: 70 white-crowned sparrows and 40 California towhees.
Will any vertebrate animals be collected or manipulated? YES
Will flags or markings be used? I already have green fence posts with pink flagging marking trap sites. I will update the pink flags.

Description of project/event:
Our goals are to quantify how white-crowned sparrows use the BFS (as a wintering site versus a stop along their migratory route), study winter social behavior, examine population-level patterns related to migration across multiple study years and address several questions about parasites in migratory birds. We will trap birds in Oct-Nov and Feb-March for about 24 cumulative hours during fall and spring. Traps will be baited with “no mess” seed that has been heated to prevent germination. Birds will be held temporarily in cotton bags before processing, which will involve attaching a metal USGS-issued numbered band to each bird and taking standard body measurements. Because the white-crowned sparrow is our focal species, we will also attach plastic, colored leg bands to allow for individual identification in the field. We will set up automated cameras around the BFS to determine where individual white-crowned sparrows forage and whether they form stable flocks. Parasite load will be determined from blood and feces. Resident California towhees will serve as a parasite comparison to migratory white-crowned sparrows. As such we will take blood from birds of both species from the brachial wing vein. We will also examine the birds for ecto-parasites and collect “volunteered” fecal samples (left in the bird holding bags) to check for gastro-intestinal parasites. For all species other than white-crowned sparrows and California towhees, we are using trapping as a method to understand their demographics at the BFS and to contribute to ongoing data collection by Nina Karnoskvy (Pomona College).

Description of project/event:
We wish to ascertain the genetic connectedness and diversity of a local milkweed species (Asclepias eriocarpa) at the CHWP and at the Robert J. Bernard Field Station (BFS). One goal is to assess vulnerability due to potential inbreeding at the BFS and to make recommendations for management of this species.

Confidential description of project/event:
* In the frequency field above, I put a *. Additionally, I would like to stop by simply to monitor its growth before collecting. This would be for just long enough to enter, check the two sites, and exit.

Will any plants or animals be collected? NO
Will any vertebrate animals be collected or manipulated? NO
Will flags or markings be used? NO

Description of project/event:
Honey bees are generalist pollinators that collect pollen and nectar from a wide variety of species. Their preferences may differ from other species of bees because they have a unique ability to communicate about especially profitable patches of flowers in a wide area around their hives. We plan to continue periodically monitoring the pollen that honey bees collect at the Bernard Station by periodically placing pollen traps on our 2 research colonies there and analyzing the pollen samples.

Will any plants or animals be collected? NO
Will any vertebrate animals be collected or manipulated? NO
Will flags or markings be used? NO

Description of project/event:
We are studying the foraging behavior of honey bee colonies. One project is focused on determining which pollen sources honey bees will use when they have a choice between native flowers (especially coastal sage scrub species such as California buckwheat) and non-native ornamental flowers found in residential areas. The other project involves experiments to determine how floral scents and distributions affect honey bee foragers' decisions to advertise the locations of patches of flowers to their sister foragers.

Confidential description of project/event:
We plan to keep 2-3 hives at the site southwest of pHake Lake to collect pollen from this year. This fall we also plan to periodically move one small colony in an observation hive to the shed in the lower neck so we can video record bee behaviors within the hive. We will be placing small arrays of artificial flowers near the shed for these experiments.

We will be in college golf carts. Once on property we will walk the areas that aren't desginated as roads. There is pilot workforce housing project that includes the offices of Scripps College Business Affairs and Pomona College. We are visiting the properties north of Foothill to gain a better view of all the properties owned by various colleges and TCCS. I checked the areas above based on a map that I receved from TCCS. This will be a group of seven individuals. Please call 213-309-6805 for any additional questions.
