2.  There will be greater species richness at the longitudes closer to the coast line.  There will be more species of birds where there is a greater proportion of forest land-cover.

3.  The latitude points were kept at +-5˚ of 40˚N to limit the effect of latitudinal factors.  The longitudes ranged from -105.72 and -74.06 to show the inland and costal effects on species richness.
