Pheromone

Breeding on a napkin is far different from breeding in their own natural environment. We were supposed to replace the napkin after each trial, but forgot a few times, possibly resulting in the sharing of pheromones from previous trials. There was also the issue of sexing the organisms. Their similarity in size and color, as well as our lack of experience sexing beetles could have resulted in quite a few mis-sexed beetles. If a male was falsely identified as…

sub-species A. mellifera capensis. In these instances the A. mellifera capensis are capable of entering a foreign hive, and secreting pheromones similar to those secreted by the queen bee. This can occur even in the presence of another queen, and is only successful in instances where the parasitic A. mellifera capensis is adapted to be resistant to the pheromones preventing the maturation of ovaries (Crewe 2006). This parasitism is not limited to invasions of only other subspecies of A.…

claws that are used for grabbing, crushing, and holding its food and at the same time are used for self-defense against other predatory animals. When females reach their final molting into maturity they will attract males by releasing powerful pheromones in their urine. Unlike the periwinkles the blue crab females come highly fertile and the ability to lay up to 7 million eggs each spawning. This mating season for the blue crab will typically go 11 months of the year ranging from mid-December…

What is reality? Is there a connection to your brain and the world around you? Is it really what you think it is? Current knowledge about our bodies state that the brain sees the world by using millions of stimuli around us to perceive the feelings of cold, soft, bright, and countless others. Take a look at this sunset, you see the sunset in front of you but when you leave the area. Was there really a sunset at the time period. Your mind says yes since you recall being there but is there…

variable is the brand of pen (Papermate). The control group is the black pen trail. Hypothesis If the termites are attracted to the chemical similar to termite pheromones in the black Papermate pen, then they will be attracted to the black pen over all other colors because the chemicals in the colored pens may cover up the termite pheromones. Materials Colored Papermate pens (Pink, green, and orange) Black Papermate pen (Make sure that all pens are Papermate; this is important!) 1 sheet of…

story with a song. I began with a simple pattern that the ear could follow which represented pheromones. Next, I added to that pattern by going up and down an octave while repeating it. To define an octave, it is made up of eight notes before those notes repeat but at a higher pitch. Using this, I attempted to introduce the idea that there were many animals, specifically ants, following a trail of pheromones. Then, the lead ant stops while those behind it continue, signified by the pattern…

The pistachio industry in California is located primarily in the San Joaquin Valley, which accounts for 97% of the production in the U.S (CPRB 2009). The city of Fresno is centrally located favorable for the growing season because it is typically hot and dry; daytime temperatures commonly exceeding 100 degrees F. and rainfall between May and October is effectively absent. Because pistachio trees typically bloom in mid April, monitoring for pests is best suitable in early spring. A most common…

Termites are small, white insects that lives in colonies underground. These insects mainly feed on wood and use pheromones to follow trails leading to their source of food. Pheromones are defined as a chemical substance given off by an insect, that affects the behavior of other insects or species. [1] The purpose of this experiment is to test the hypothesis, that the tracking ability of the worker termite is impacted by the writing utensils used. One red Vollrath tray with lip, one Office Max…

communication is connected to pheromones. Pheromones are “chemical scents that animals produce to trigger a behavioral response from the other members of the same species” (Blackiston 25). Honey bee pheromones are basically the “glue” that secures the colony and certain pheromones stimulate different behaviors. For example, certain queen pheromones let the entire colony know that the queen is present, force the worker bees to work, and act as sex attractants. Other pheromones control the drone…

large negative impact on her mental state and development. Other’s may have a different reaction to what Lynn was exposed to as a child. At the end of the short story “The Evening and the Morning and the Night” Lynn and Alan receive information on a pheromone double DGD women hold that control the patients. When going to meet Alan’s mother, they arrive in a very peaceful ward where DGD patients that work on artistic and intellectual projects.…
