Butterfly Thermoregulation Lab Report

According to the results of the team Butterfly Thermoregulation lab, it can be concluded that the basking posture does have an effect on thermoregulation. The angles of basking postures have a major effect of how butterflies produce their heat. Because the wings are such poor conductors for heat, only the parts of the wing within a few mm of the thorax can contribute to this, according to Kingsolver. The graph during the experiment showed that different postures have significant impact on butterflies on how they produce their heat. It showed that dorsal produce the least amount of heat, while lateral and relectance had a different outcome.
This experiment, which involved the use of water as a gauge for the warmth of the butterfly, has multiple
