Weight measurements fluxuate in winter due to hibernation preparation and are responsible for slight sexual dimorphism with males averaging 7.1 g and females averaging 7.45 g (Thomson, 1982). Tail length is generally 80% of the head and body length with terminal vertebra and half of the penultimate vertebra projecting free of the interfemoral

Light intensity Effect on Butterbur Plant Karim Sharaf Experimental Biology 11 / 4 / 2015 Abstract In this experiment, we designed our methods to test the influence of blue light source on our plant model butterbur plants. Different frequencies and wavelength of light, makes it visualized as different in color with different capacity of energy to be carried with it. Therefore this experiment is going to test the effect of blue light source with different light sources to conclude that
