Question
After spraying your yard with a weed-killer you notice that you don't see any bees in your yard for the next few days. You know that bees are a keystone species that is critical for a healthy environment, and want to investigate if there is a connection between the weed-killer and the absence of bees.
Task: Design an experiment that could test this association by describing each of the following points with a sentence:
- Describe your hypothesis:
- Describe your dependent variable:
- Describe you independent variable:
- Describe your positive control group:
- Describe a negative control group:

- Peacock Butterfly Predator Defenses The photographs below represent theexperimental and control groups used in the peacock butterfly experiment discussedin Section 1.6. See if you can identify the experimental groups and match them upwith the relevant control group(s). Hint: Identify which variable is being tested in eachgroup (each variable has a control).arrow_forwardHoverflies use Batesian mimics (they exhibit a characteristics of a dangerous species although they are harmless species to avoid predators) of a group of stinging, yellow & black-striped bees and wasps, which are Mullerian mimics (they exhibit similar characteristics of similar species to themselves to avoid predators) of each other. Assuming predators learn to avoid yellow and black insects only through experience, draw the expected relationship between the ratio of Batesian mimics to Mullerian mimics in the community (x-axis) and the probably that mimicry will successfully protect against predation (y-axis).arrow_forwardPlease answer fast If antibiotic resistance is not an inherited trait, which graph below is a reasonably expected result?

Do honeybees distinguish between flowers that have crab spiders and flowers that do not? To test this, Heiling et al. (2003) gave 34 bees a choice between 2 flowers: one with, and one without a crab spider. In 24 of the 34 trials, the bees picked the flower that had the spider. In the other trials, the bees chose the spiderless flower. With these data, carry out the appropriate hypothesis test (one- or two-tailed), using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to determine Z. For a one-tailed test, use the formula =(1-NORM.DIST(Z,0,1,TRUE) in Excel calculate P. For a two-tailed test, use the formula =2(1-NORM.DIST(Z,0,1,TRUE). State your answer for the value of P to three decimal places, and include the leading zero. Do all of the math in Excel DO NOT round the value of Z. Substitute the cell (e.g. B1) for Z in the formula for P.arrow_forward6) Specifically in a control group, the variable that is not changed is the blank variable? this is a open ended question and I need help with itarrow_forward
