Interactions Between Goldenrods

Decent Essays
The goals of this study was to find interactions between the goldenrods that had the gall and the ones that where besides them but without the gall. There were 15 pairs and each pair where cut from the bottom and all the fifteen pairs where find in the same area and this could cause less variation in the data. When comparing the means of the goldenrods flowers the ones that had the gall weighs more than the ones without the gall and this could been since there are insects parasitizing the gall and the other ones do not have a gall and insects do not mess with it as much that the ones that have the gall. The goldenrods with the gall where heavier than the ones that had no gall and this could be because the gall is on top and the golden rod should

    There is not a pattern to the data that was collected from the Cypress saplings. Groups 0.3 mmhos/cm and 2 mmhos/cm both fared better than 1 mmhos/cm. This leaves a hole in the pattern that was predicted to occur. I assumed that a gradual rate of health was going to appear from the results but no consistency was revealed. The most obvious course of conclusion is to say that not enough time was put into this experiment.…

    Once the experiment was completed, the results of the experiment were reviewed. The null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis, change in temperatures does effect goldfish respiration rate, was accepted. Goldfish are considered ectotherms which mean that their body temperature changes as their environment temperature changes (White and Campo 2015). Ectotherms have two aquatic ectotherm strategies they use to cope with cold temperatures. The goldfish in this experiment used the first strategy, which is to slow down their metabolism.…

    The basic set-up for this experimental design would consist of eight plates, each with a single female beetle and eight beans. The two independent variables would be whether the female of South Indian descent or Burkina Faso descent (SI or BF) and what fraction of the seeds would be of the preferred seed type (100%, 75%, 50%, or 25%). This produced the eight different conditions studied in this experiment, and the dependent variable would be the average measure of the number eggs per a bean (not considering those that have no eggs) and of each bean type. These measurements would be recorded within an hour of preparing the plates as well as twenty-four hours later. With the measure of the average number of eggs per a bean, we learn more about the oviposition behavior of whether the conditions promote one egg to one bean or multiple eggs to one bean.…

By first examining the parasitoid wasp and birds predatory actions we can hypothesize and predict the smaller galls will be most likely to survive directional selection.…

    Group A, the control was the healthiest of the three groups, however group C grew to be the overall highest 17.75 cm. This occurrence could be due to the plastic bags are plants replaced in. Group A showed signs that the plastic bags limited plant growth. The stem of the plants in group A where folded over top of themselves like a ribbon. This leads me to believe that the plastic bags would’ve been removed, group A would have outperformed group C in…

    To show that these finding are accurate against all guppies of this species, the greenhouse experiment can be compared to a previously conducted field experiment. Endler (1978) and his researchers found a stream that had multiple ponds separated by tributaries and waterfalls to prevent populations from mingling. They took the guppies that were already living in ponds with high predation and moved them to predator-free ponds. The results were measured by how the guppies’ appearance changed after two years in their new pool. The conclusion of the field test supports the findings in the greenhouse experiment.…
