Pill Bug Behavior Laboratory Exercise
Experimental Design:
Positive Control
A positive control is constructed in one of the outer wells.
The positive control consists of a dark paper
cover and a cotton ball moistened with water.
This will simulate the dark, moist environment preferred
by the pill bug.
Experimental Conditions
In this experiment the response of four different pill bugs was measured using baking soda, ketchup, and
applesauce as the experimental variables.
Measuring Taxis Response
The taxis response is measured by the number of pill bugs and length of stay in the experimental and
control wells over a 15-minute period.
Positive taxis =
Two or more pill bugs entered the well and remained in the well for at least two time
points (two minutes) in a row during the 15-minute period.
Negative taxis = Less than two pill bugs entered the well and/or remained in the well for less than two
time points (two minutes) in a row during the 15-minute period.
Formulating a Hypothesis:
You will need to formulate your hypothesis before watching the video and viewing the data.
You will
need a separate hypothesis for each of the experimental conditions.
Apply your understanding of the
background research and the pill bugs’ preferred habitat and food stuffs.
Enter your hypothesis as a
statement for positive taxis or negative taxis in response to the positive control, baking soda, ketchup,
and applesauce in the Lab Report. You will also need to provide your rationale for your hypothesis.
Data Collection and Analysis:
Watch video, “Video - Pill Bug Behavior Laboratory Exercise” in this section of the module.

The following case study is a paraphrase from "Good Clinical Practice. Standard Operating Procedures for Clinical Researchers" (Kolman, J., Meng, P. and Scott, G. editors; John Wiley and Sons publishers, 1998):
“While a study subject and a relative were walking in town one day during the summer, a hanging flower basket fell on a study subjects head, resulting in the study subject falling down and becoming unconscious. The subject’s relative called for an ambulance. On arrival at a local hospital’s Emergency Department, in which the subject regained consciousness but could not recall the event, a x-ray revealed a fractured skull. The subject’s consciousness level at this point was deteriorating and after further tests a subdural hematoma was diagnosed, which was evacuated under general anesthesia. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and progressing well until day four, when the patient developed acute dyspnea (shortness of breath) at rest during visiting time. An emergency lung scan…

For this experiment, you will be able to manipulate only one variable. First, the amount of water; this means the water in the experimental group is more or less than the control, hopefully not killing the experimental group, but just altering the growth rate of the experimental group compared to the control group. Second the amount of nutrients; nutrients can be varied if you have some plant food or fertilizer at home to use. Third, simulated herbivory is an interesting variable to use. If used herbivory as your experimental variable, decide on a pattern and amount of herbivory to inflict on the plants of the experimental group and write down the procedure in detail.
Experiment to test how one of the following variables impacts the growth of Brassica rapa: Water, Nutrient Availability, and Herbivory.
1) Write down just one name of the variable. This is the independent variable.
2) Write down a question to address by manipulating the variable.

Consider the effects of the same climate change scenario (+3°C) for a small frog with high cutaneous resistance, Litoria bicolor and cane toads Rhinella marina . The characteristics of the 3 species are show in the table below. The main differences among these 3 spreadsheets are the body masses and cutaneous resistances. Another difference is that, unlike Litoria caerulea, the other two species are assumed to be outside during the day rather than in a tree hollow. The wind speed inside a hollow is very low, and the humidity is higher. But the air temperatures are the same for all 3 models. Under the climate change scenario, were these 2 species exposed to lethal conditions for either water loss or body temperature?

A person wants to know if the Florida Cottonmouth and Northern Cottonmouth differ in toxicity (strength of their venom). Which would be the best experimental design to answer this question?
Question 4 options:
Two snakes - one of each species - each bite a mouse. The mouse that dies more quickly tells you which snake has more toxic venom.
Venom from 60 snakes - 30 of each species - is injected into a mouse. The mouse that dies more quickly tells you which snake has more toxic venom.
Venom from two snakes - one of each species - is injected into a mouse. The mouse that dies more quickly tells you which snake has more toxic venom.
60 snakes - 30 of each species - each bite a mouse. The group of mice with the most deaths tells you which snake has more toxic venom.

For your summer research project, you decide to repeat Lillian Tuttle’s (2017) experiment testing the effect of lionfish on other fish that are cleaners and clients. You do this new experiment at a new location (Bonaire), but use basically the same experimental approach and BACI design as Tuttle.
a) You do not separate resident and transient clients (as Tuttle did), and below is a graph of your results showing the effect of the treatment on the total density of client fish in the community. Please explain your result. Imagine that you are planning to publish your experiment and that your answer to this question will be part of the “Results” section of your paper. Please do not worry about hypothetical statistical tests; just assume that the obvious patterns displayed in the graph can be interpreted at face value.

Which of the following are the correct order of steps needed for guard cells to respond to ligth?
Select one:
O a. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump potassium and chloride out, water follows the ions out(lower water
potential), guard cells lose water and open
O b. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump potassium and chloride out, water follows the ions out(lower water
potential), guard cells lose water and close
O c. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump protons out, protons escort chloride ions in, water follows the ions (lower
water potential), guard cells become turgid and open
O d. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump protons in, water follows the protons (lower water potential and
concentration gradient), guard cells become turgid and close

Octopamine is a neurotransmitter in many species of invertebrates. In foraging bees, octopamine can influence how the bees obtain their food and it can determine their dance behavior, which is used as a form of communication between members of the colony. A study compared the difference in the water and nectar collected by two colonies of foraging bees that were treated with either a dose of octopamine or a control treatment.
Which of the following statements identifies the likely outcome of the two colonies?
A - Based on the decreased frequency of water foraging done by colony 1, it will have lower amounts of food stored within their hive than colony 2.
B - Based on the increased frequency of water foraging done by colony 2, it will have lower amounts of food stored within their hive than colony 1.
C - Bees that underwent octopamine treatment in colony 2 would produce greater amounts of food for their hive than those that underwent the treatment in colony 1.
D - Bees that were the…

The world is rapidly aging. The challenge of providing a smart living environment for the elderly so as to reduce health hazard and risk, improve quality of living (both physical and mental) and expand their social connectivity is in need of new ideas and technological innovation. Building on what you learned in class about the basics of smart sensor and control, propose the design of a new smart device/application that can improve the safety and quality of living for the elderly on the daily basis. In the proposal, provide the following key points:
(1) justification for the particular problem/difficulty for the elderly that you intend to address with your new tech design;
(2) the specific design of the new device/application, in particular highlighting the innovative components;
(3) the potential technical challenges when realizing the design into actual product;
(4) aspects of the design that can be further improved and developed.
