Abstract:

Many invertebrates on land go unheard of and ones in water are even more obscure. It is important that we study the types of invertebrates out there because they are an important part of their ecosystems. An area with a diverse ecosystem is the Twin Lake Preserve, and there are many aquatic invertebrates in the lakes. To capture them, we will use nets and collect the invertebrates, but filter out the organisms that do not apply to the experiment. The purpose of the experiment is to have a better understanding of the organisms that go unnoticed in the lake of the Twin Lake Preserves, where it is important to understand how the ecosystem works. There haven’t been many studies about the invertebrates of the Twin Lakes Preserve, so getting more information about the invertebrates can be useful.
