Cricket Population Dynamics Essay

Decent Essays
Cricket Populations Dynamics In the past decade, the humans are having an impact towards the extinction of certain animals. We have been affecting the animals environment, food source, and even murdering them. We’ve done an experiment with crickets in the past week. We’ve been analyzing on what their reaction towards to certain climate changes and how they survive with lack of food. How would would they react to this and would it be a similar judgement compare to humans? During the cricket lab, we joined up into groups to analyze the same crickets in a container. Day 1, we were learning how to tell the difference between if it was a boy or girl, the size, color and where it came from. We also analyze on how male crickets behaved around a …show more content…
This problem is causing our food capacity to decrease. Another thing is that we can’t let animals live in peace cause we have so many people to feed so we have to kill them for resources. A solution to this is we should respect the environment. Us humans are dramatically making global warming to increase and producing so much carbon dioxide from cars. With the overproduction, more people are driving cars which is making global warming to go up. A solution is to bring atmospheric CO2 back from 386 parts per million to 350 or less. We also have to increase our food supply since our population is increasing so much. We must have to increase our food production by 70% but, we would have to overcome problems. Such as increasing energy prices, drought and flooding from climate changes, losing farmland to urbanization, and etc. One of our major problems on Earth is that we are overpopulating. The overpopulation causes global warming to increase, food supply is decreasing, and murdering even more wildlife animals. I think a solution to this either limiting the amount of kids that a women could give birth to or we make a change towards things that cause

    During the experiment, several materials were needed to perform the experiment with ease. Ten crickets were needed and were provided by the teacher of the class. A clear container, including a lid, was also needed to contain the crickets. As well as crickets and a container, the lab required a working computer, with the Logger-Pro application already downloaded onto the computer. Many different devices, such as a carbon dioxide sensor and incubator, were needed to obtain the results of the experiment.…

    Food is important for it gives chemical energy to the organism to generate kinetic energy which can be used for living functions such as survival and reproduction. Humanity, as living organisms, abide by the same principles, thus as population increases so do the demands upon water, food, living space, and energy. Water, however, is not only consumed by humans, but also by the industries of humanity, agriculture, construction, and production and energy generation. The aforementioned all serve to pollute the water used, by chemical run-off from agriculture, toxic chemical waste as by-products of production. Furthermore, degradation of the environment such as CO2 emissions also increases temperature, melts glacial ice reserves, which diminish sizes of surface and ground freshwater sources.…

    While the increasing world population stimulates an increase in demand for resources, human activities have been changing the makeup of the atmosphere, damaging the environment which provides those resources. Common practices such as burning fossil fuels and removing forests have released unprecedented amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, resulting in a worldwide increase in temperatures referred to as climate change. This increase in heat alters water cycles, effecting significant changes in the availability of fresh water. In addition, abnormal temperatures can disrupt the variety of plants and animals in ecosystems as well as weaken agricultural productivity. As a catalyst for climate change, overpopulation contributes to this increase…
