The purpose of this experiment is determine if temperature affects the abundance of Cranefly larvae. The independent variable of this experiment is the temperature. This was shown by having 20 fish tanks all having different temperatures between 2℃ and 40℃. The dependent variable is the species which is Cranefly larvae. The hypothesis of this experiment is that the Cranefly larvae will gravitate towards the colder temperate water which is about 10℃. This is because during the warmer months the larvae will dig underground to stay cold in the water and during the colder months they will be more visible in the water because the water will be

    Pill Bugs Experiment Lab Report

    The experiment was conducted in an enclosed environment (choice chamber), which helped to maintain the constants. The integrity of the control (water) was maintained by using an eye dropper to carefully place the water into the selected chamber to test the effects. There were no major complications during the experiment. The biggest complication was the lack of movement from the pillbugs which may have made the…

    Experiment 2-3 Daphnia

    This experiments purpose is to study the effects of manmade chemicals on daphnia. By observing 2-3 daphnia in 4 different environments I rated each Daphnia magna on a scale of 0 to 5 on how it affected their health. I averaged each of the daphnia’s heath based on their behavior and apperence. One pure water, then three other environments exposed to antifreeze, pesticides, and cigarette ash. After observing each environment for 30 minutes I discovered that cigarette ash is the most toxic to daphnia I rated their health at a 0 and antifreeze is the only chemical I tested that didn’t result in death I rated the daphnia exposed to antifreeze at a 2 due to the change in appearance and downfall of health .…

    Crayfish Experiment

    Effect of temperature Results In this experiment, results from two Procambarus propinquus (crayfish) were collected to observe the difference in oxygen consumption at different acclimated temperatures. These cray fish were collected from Medway Creek in London, and acclimated to their new environment and temperatures. The crayfish were exposed to the cold environment having an average temperature of 7° or warm having an average of 22°. An unpaired, two-tailed t test was performed to determine if there would be a change in O2 consumption between 2 individual crayfish.…

    RESULTS: An experiment was conducted to document the patterns of evolution in the fictional species, Cannus stannous. Fitness of the C. stannous population is determined solely by its ability to retain heat. Three genes determined heat retention; can size, skin type, and water level. Each gene had three alleles, producing 27 possible phenotypic combinations (Table 1).…

    Pillbug Behavior Lab Report

    We hypothesized that pill bugs would display a positive hydrotaxis and a negative chemotaxis, but our last experiment supports a reaction to chemotaxis. Since we placed them in a tray with all chemical-filled chambers, we weren’t able to tell if they drift towards diluted solutions because they contained more water. The products of the Chi Square Test told us whether the results of our experiments were significant or not. Our results in Part A and B were significant because the calculations proved the null hypothesis wrong and supported our hypothesis; the bugs displayed a positive hydrotaxis and a negative chemotaxis in these two situations. On the other hand, Part C can be invalidated because the bugs did respond when placed between 4 concentrated-chemical solutions.…

    Acclimated Crayfish: Metabolic Compensation

    Measurements from 0 to 30 minutes were excluded from our data because when compared to the data from times 30-60 of both cold and warm acclimated crayfish, it was evident that the crayfish were undergoing physiological stress. This is likely due to how the crayfish were in the same tank compensating for two weeks and were then moved to conduct experiment. There is an expected time where the crayfish experience stress in a new environment which is not reflective of their adaption to new temperatures. In the case of the crayfish worked with in this experiment they took longer than usual to adapt to their new environment The oxygen consumption levels increased during the 30-60 minute time period for both the warm and cold acclimated crayfish due to the absent of threat, so they ended up…

    Pill Bug Experiment

    By applying different environmental factors on the living conditions of the pill bugs, we were able to procure a directional response (taxis). In both trial 1 and 3, our hypothesis turned out to be incorrect. The isopods were not evenly distributed across the choice chamber; however, this could be the result of the lack of intensity of the stimuli because their normal habit is generally moist. Solely based on these two trials admittedly, we can conclude that the moisture (wetness) of the environment does not significantly impact the pill bugs’…

    Conclusion: In conclusion, there is not enough data to prove whether pillbugs prefer to reside in darkness or in lighted areas. The data collected fails to show a clear pattern and expressed an ambivalence towards the environments provided.

    Yucca Moth Lab Report

    She tested if the survivorship of T.cassandra is controlled by the extrinsic factors dehydration and predation. She did this in a few stages, first testing larval survivorship by comparing the number of scars present, indicating eggs under the surface of the flower, to the number of mature larvae. She then conducted a flower microclimate experiment in which mesh bags were placed over individual plants to determine if abiotic (non-living) factors were important in relation to the survival of genomes. Measurements were taken on the changes in microclimate, in relation to temperature and relative humidity. The impact of larval feeding was recorded; measured by number of larvae per fruit and the number of seeds consumed by each larva.…

    Daphnia Pesticide

    Discussion Our results supported the alternate hypothesis that Atrazine affects the geotactic movement of Daphnia (Table 1). The pesticide we used disrupted the natural behaviors of Daphnia, and thus affected their performance. These results were expected since Atrazine is a powerful weed –killer that have the abilities to disrupt the nervous system in human and animals, this is why the Daphnia displayed a vertical movement when they placed in the Atrazine solution, which was an attempt to avoid it. Pesticides can also decrease the reproductive success of aquatic animals as demonstrated by the experiment conducted by Agatz (2013).…

    Crayfish Behavior

    Instead a crayfish in cold water and a crayfish in room temperature were both calm the moment they were taken out of water, while the other two crayfish took their time with getting comfortable. Although the crayfish exhibits habituation, dishabituation,stimulus generalization and spontaneous recovery as its defense reflex, when stimulated with rapidly approaching targets (Glantz, R.,1974), it did not truly show if temperature had any significance to its behavior. These results tell me that temperature could have possibly not have any effect, however it does bring several other factors to the light. Some things that we missed while selecting the crayfish was gender, age and size. With the factor of size, being missed during this experiment, other researchers have found that size is directly related to behavior in both genders.…
