Tribolium Case

Question 11
Assuming there is no other interactions with the Tribolium population we will expect the growth to be exponential. However, that is if the container is provided with a food delivery system that is unaltered and readily available. The weeks where the new culture should start collecting and remove individuals is weeks 7-8. This is because this is the point where the Tribolium population is at its most productive growth. In addition, if we take just enough each day we as a business could keep removing enough individuals and keep the population growth at an exponential rate never reaching a carrying capacity.

Question 12

Question 13
If another flour beetle is introduced into the Tribolium environment in addition infects the population

    Pill Bugs Experiment Lab Report

    First, at five minutes, the light chamber had 26 pillbugs, and at 30 minutes the light chamber had 27, only one more than at the five minute mark. Second, at five minutes the lemon juice chamber had 38 pillbugs, and at 30 minutes, the lemon juice chamber had 46. This difference is larger than the previous one, although, most of the movement is still done within the first five minutes. Third, at five minutes, baking soda had 17 pillbugs, and 15 at 30 minutes.

    Black Death Facts

    Black Death -The bacterial disease that atrophied Europe between 1347-1351, taking an equitably greater amount of life than any other known epidemic or war up to that point. The Black Death is broadly thought to have been the result of infection by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. 5 Facts: • Many doctors believed that bad smells could force out the plague. Therefore, treatments for the disease included applying feces and urine, and other substances that were much more likely to spread disease than to cure it. • Y.

    Construction Bug Experiment

    Data and Results: During ten generations of construction bugs, the blue construction bug declined in number greatly and then went extinct, the yellow construction bug number declined greatly and then leveled out, the purple construction bug number increased greatly and then declined, the green construction bug number increased greatly, declined greatly ,and then increased slightly, and the orange construction bug number increased, decreased, and increased again. Conclusion: The aforementioned hypothesis was incorrect. The hypothesis said that the bugs would be 25% yellow, 25% pink, 25% purple, 25% green, 0 % blue, and 0% orange, after ten generations because the first four types of bugs would be the best at blending into their environment…

    Why Do Sow Bugs Prefer

    The question investigated in this experiment was how does the sow bug’s preference of habitat affect the concentration and distribution of the organisms. The purpose of this investigation was to decipher what habitats these organisms prefer to live in and how it would affect their population density. This was tested by a simple experimental design with four petri dishes that each represented a different environment. The control treatment was the dish with just dirt while the other habitats included rocks, wood, then dead leaves. All the sow bugs started out in the control treatment and was monitored meticulously for thirty mins.…

    Summary: Over the past two years, the bee population has decreased dramatically and has immensely affected the pollination of plants.

    White Bark Deforestation

    The top 1/3 of a particular mountain in Yellowstone contains a large population of white bark pine trees and about twenty grizzly bears. Over about twenty years, average temperatures get significantly warmer due to pollution and climate change. As modeled by the diagram, warmer temperatures lead to an increase in the population of white bark pine infesting beetles. An increase in the beetles overwhelms the defense systems of the white bark pine trees, and they are completely wiped out from the mountain in about a decade. Once every tree on the mountain is dead, it is assumed that since there are no more trees to support the beetles, their population would be wiped out as well.…

    Trivalent Arsenic In Liverr

    Trivalent arsenic is metabolized, primarily in the liver, to the non toxic compounds. The major form of arsenic in urine after ingestion of arsenic trioxide is dimethylarsinic acid (50%) indicating in vivo methylation reaction. Other compounds excreted in urine are methylarsonic acid (14%), pentavalent arsenic (8%) and trivalent arsenic (8%). Excretion is by the kidney; it is nearly complete within 6 days and accounts for over 90% of a dose, mainly via urine. Only a trace amount is excreted in the feces [31,32].…

    Small Hive Beetle Essay

    Aethina Tumida, Small Hive Beetles (SHB), is native to sub-Saharan Africa, and it is a regular pest to the African subspecies of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera Linnaeus. Be that as it may, the beetle has been located outside of its natural habitat, where it is known to cause extensive damage to the plethora of colonies of the European subspecies of honey bees. In 1996, the small hive beetle was first sighted in the United States across a variety of states. There is no clear answer to how the beetles came over to the United States, but a multitude of people have the belief that the SHB first settled in Florida, and as the beekeepers from Florida migrated across the United States, the beetles followed. A. tumida is an invasive species and is causing many damages to the beekeeping…
