  • Pillbug Lab Report

    989 Words  | 4 Pages

    Abstract: The main focus of this lab is on animal behaviors in terrestial isopods, also known as pillbugs. There are many purposes to this lab experiment. First, these pillbugs are put into four different types of enviroments, also known as chambers, light v. dark, hot vs. cold, moisture vs. dry, and lastly shelter vs. open. In these different chambers, there are 10 pillbugs, 5 placed into each individual chamber and then observed for up to 5 – 10 minutes. In this lab we observed that pillbugs prefer light areas, hot temperatures, moist environments, and lastly sheltered spaces.

    The cuttlefish were exposed to the concentrations of 1ng/L and 100ng/L 15 days before hatching and for two weeks after to determine the effect of living within this stressful environment. Behaviour was monitored through the use of the ability for the cuttlefish to camouflage on uniform and patterned sands such as a checkerboard design and also the locomotion of the organism, such as the behaviour for the cuttlefish to dig in the sand. These are good indicators of behaviour as an undesired effect would increase the likelihood of the young cuttlefish being vulnerable to

    The experiment was done by observing the Himantura leopard and Dasyatis Americana interactions with a school of fishinside a 760,000 gallon tank at the Adventure Aquarium for 90 minutes. There were two Himantura leopard organisms and approximately five to six DasyatisAmericana. A school of fish was observed as three fishes that are approximately three inches away from each other. When either species of stingray came within five inches of the described school of fish, it was marked down if any of the fishes in the school separated from the school by swimming in an opposing direction of the other fishes of the school. If a fish separated from the school, it was marked down as “break apart” for the specie of stingray that caused the separation.

    Although they may be small in size, they have had a significant impact on human activities in terms of agricultural production and in the same way it can be observed that human activities have impacted this species in terms of optimal conditions for reproduction and growth. Globally, invasive insects cost an estimated $2. 1 billion in forest damage and $13 billion in loss of crop depending on how detrimental the species is but nonetheless, a species such as the love bug demonstrates that even nuisances can provides benefits amide the costly

  • Pros And Cons Of Invasive Species

    1618 Words  | 7 Pages

    Invasive Species Invasive, alien species, those which colonise, expand and out compete native species (Smith & Smith, 2009), are a major threat to our habitats, terrestrial and aquatic species, and biodiversity. Agricultural and leisure industries are affected as well as conservation welfare and the continued wellbeing of man, flora and fauna. Whole ecosystems can be distorted and the economic cost of awareness, prevention and eradication systems is substantial. Most invasive species have been introduced by mandeliberately or otherwise. As an island, Ireland has been subjected to less invasive species than larger nearby land masses e.g. Europe, but islands have a less diverse species population and are therefore more vulnerable when invaded.

    We took a large net and set it vertically in the water, and then somebody got in the creek and kicked up sediment into the net. After doing this a few times, we collected all of the creatures off of the net and into an ice cube tray. We then examined the creatures and noted the variety (or lack thereof) of the creatures. The larger the variety in the species of the creek, the healthier the creek is. We noticed several species of fly larvae such as stone fly larvae and caddis fly larvae. We also noted a few worms.

    The first figure helped understand the location of the different tributaries in the upper Kiamichi River being used in the experiment. The first table helped highlight the point that the known range of O. saxatilis was shown to have increased and that the sympatric species P. tenius inhabits the same streams as O. saxatalis compared to the other sympatric species. Table 2 helped demonstrate that depth and flow velocity differed between riffles and pools especially between the dry and wet periods. This showed that the difference in water levels between riffles and pools could affect the habitat that the crayfish is living in and their preference for a certain environment. The other abiotic factors did not vary dramatically, which showed that they do not affect crayfish distribution.

  • Pillbug Lab Report

    In our experiment, we examined the behavior of isopods by conducting the experiment based on our hypothesis: “If ten isopods are put into the test chamber, 5 in sand and 5 in soil, which environment will the pillbug prefer.” We hypothesized that the isopods would favor the soil more than the sand because pillbugs are typically found in soil and not in sand. Pillbugs are favored in soil because the natural role of a pillbug is to eat dead and decaying things but, in sand there are no nutrients available for pillbugs. Pill bugs are mostly found in moist environments, due to having gills, gills only function when they are wet so pill bugs will inhabit places in which air holds a lot of water

    Our hypothesis was that the crayfish would show metabolic compensation when they are acclimated at different temperature. Our prediction for this experiment was that there would be no difference between oxygen consumption between cold acclimated crayfish and warm acclimated crayfish. Based on our t-test result, the p value was greater than 0.05(p=0.25). Therefore, it supported the prediction that there was no significant difference of the rate of oxygen consumption between warm and cold acclimated crayfish. The same thing was also supported by the Q10 value(Q10 = 1.05), which meant that crayfish showed a perfect compensation.

    Artificial Selection/ Natural Selection When the word artificial comes to my mind fake thoughts run through me, like water runs down your throat. Artificial christmas trees, flowers, foods, anything artificial you can think of, almost everyone has it and has produced it. As you read this, do you have any idea what artificial means? Said on dictionary.com, artificial means produced by humans, not occurring naturally. For example, artificial selection would be taking a wild animal, such as a whale, living in the huge ocean and putting him/her in a place like Seaworld, where they don’t adapt to the environment well, and are not used to the resources and rules.
