Pill Bug Attractancy Experiment

The negative and positive controls will be separate from each other and the populations that are being tested on. All tree species will start out with no PSHB infestation, and then 10 PSHB individuals (7 females and 3 males) will be released on a single tree from each of the two experimental populations of trees (a total of 20 PSHB individuals). After 120 days, or approximately 3-4 generation cycles [2], the greenhouses will be fumigated twice to kill all the surviving beetles. The number of beetles after 120 days will be counted in both the golden-rain tree greenhouse and the avocado tree greenhouse to determine the spread of infection, and the rate of success of reproduction of the beetles in each tree

In the second experiment our hypothesis stated that when the number of males placed in a dish are increased with a (sustained) amount of one female beetle, the time span of the mating process will decrease because the female will have of an option. This hypothesis was not supported because with the trials we preformed the results showed that the different ratio of dishes had a different time span of which they

To test the hypothesis the impact of temperature on milkweed bugs, they will be placed in three different temperature conditions. The temperatures include: 10°C (refrigerated), room temperature 22°C and at 28°C. These various temperatures represent the lowered temperatures from the milkweed bugs optimal temperature (28°C). The day and light cycle for these conditions will be 16L:8D. To test the hypothesis of the effect of light regime on development, milkweed bugs were placed in 22°C condition with a 16L:8D cycle and 22°C condition with a 2.5L:21.5D cycle. About 35 milkweed bug eggs will be placed in a clear container for each treatment group.

The pill bugs were cuddling with each other as a way to preserve the heat and therefore, wouldn’t waist a lot of energy and eventually die. For the 24 C the bugs where moving at a full speed. As it is said that the pill bugs are well adapted to moist temperatures because they need it as a way to breathe and not die from dehydration. Pill bugs tend to come out during the day because of the moist. The results are compatible with the results of the group experiments.

Aristotle, a famous philosopher, once said, “The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet” (Brainyquote.com). The ‘bitter roots’ he is talking about are quarterlies. A quarterly is a test given to students at the end of each marking period to allow students to show what they have learned for that marking period. Each major subject including math, science, english, and history, are required to administer the tests. Understandably, not many people are familiar with this test because they are actually very uncommon.

Anne McClintock wrote her essay “Gonad the Barbarian and the Venus Flytrap: Portraying the female and male orgasm” to examine pornography and how it has changed throughout history and its effects on how women perform as sexual beings. McClintock focuses on the various roles of pornography such as its emphasis on voyeurism, pleasure, and the male ego. She wants her readers to know that women are still not represented in pornography to satisfy their own desires, but they are there to cater to men and their subconscious. I will analyze how McClintock argues that due to the history of sexism towards women, the roles that men and women have in pornography are inherently different because of the societal belief that women are only seen as objects of sexual desire and are solely there to satisfy the male audience.

Each year, the United States imports many plants from other countries, so far they have introduced over 200,000 and 90 major insect enemies of U.S plants have come from these introduced

When Jeannette was visiting her friend’s home in Battle Mountain, her friend “pointed toward a shiny gold contraption dangling from the ceiling, which she proudly identified as a Shell No-Pest Strip… I went home and told Mom we needed to get a No-Pest Strip like Carla’s family, but she refused. ‘If it kills the flies,’ she said ‘it can’t be very good for us”’ (64-65). Jeanette’s mother doesn’t want to buy the no pest strip because she wants to preserve nature which seems fine because the lizards will eat the flies, but by doing this she has caused her home to be infested with flies and lizards and decline the family’s living conditions severely. While the Walls home in Phoenix was infested with cockroaches and termites, Jeanette “suggested we buy roach spray, like all our neighbors did, but Mom was opposed to chemical warfare…

At the conclusion of each of the three trials, the number of caterpillars that showed peck marks was tallied. The average of the three trials revealed that 0.67 out of 8 patterned caterpillars had been pecked and 2.67 out of 8 of the solid colored caterpillars showed signs of avian predation (Figure 1). The average rate of avian predation for the three trials was 8.3% for the patterned caterpillars and 33.3% for the solid colored caterpillars. The number of patterned caterpillars pecked was less than the number of solid colored caterpillars pecked for all three trials. It was observed that there were no adhesive issues, weather related damage, or interference from tree
