New York Raptors

Raptors such as hawks and falcons are capable of surviving well in urban environments, including urban parks. But, some urban parks are likely to yield greater numbers of hawks and falcons than others, and we wanted to find out which ones and why.

Impact of Temperature Changes on Geese Migration Patterns

Temperatures have risen due to climate. As a result, the migration pattern of animals has evolved, one of those animals being the Geese.

Consequences of Sleep Deprivation

Exploring the prevalence of sleep deprivation in Macaulay Honors College students and identifying subsequent physical, mental, and social consequences.

Does the Urban City Environment Affect the Number of Bee Species?

Our research aims to explore and analyze the change in bee diversity in response to urban environments such as NYC. By analyzing this relationship, we can gain insights into the effects of urbanization on bee populations and the potential repercussions for our environment.

Bat Distribution Comparison in Rural and Urban Areas

Have you ever wondered about the bat population in New York City? So did we! We researched and compared what species of bats are present in urban and rural locations.

A Statistical Analysis: Mental Health Disparities Between Hunter College Students on the Basis of Honors Status and Housing Arrangements

Utilizing a survey-based method, we compared subgroups of Hunter College students to determine if some experience higher rates of social anxiety, depression, and/or loneliness, namely commuters vs. dormers and honors students vs. non-honors students.

Lanternfly Population

We observed the population change between lanternflies and tree of heaven

The Effect of Household Income on Street Tree Diversity: A Close Look at Four Brooklyn Neighborhoods

we would like to find out whether tree diversity is similar across a subset of four neighborhoods in Brooklyn which differ significantly with regard to the median household income of the residents therein. This is important because trees provide crucial ecosystem services such as filtering air particles and keeping streets cool (Willis and Petrokofsky, 2017). We are interested in exploring the relationship between median household income and tree diversity because tree diversity is important to neighborhood health and quality of life.

Is There a Relationship Between PM 2.5 Air Pollution and Species Diversity of Birds?
