Project:

A Look at Invertebrate Diversity between Twin Lakes Preserve and a suburban creek in Wantagh by using DNA Barcoding

Students:

Alexandra Barretta, Katherine Hoffmann, Saba Saleem

School:

Wantagh High School, Nassau

Mentors:

Casey Clark

Abstract:

Foot traffic, animals, and human behavior can impact biodiversity. We aim to study how that biodiversity has been affected by people and animals more by comparing an area with more interaction (the creek parallel to Wantagh Avenue by Wantagh High school in Wantagh, New York), and an area with less interaction (the Twin Lakes in Wantagh, New York).
