RESULTS Aphid survival experiment Aphid survival rate varied with both of different combinations of predators-aphids and various times in presence or absence of ants (Table 2). GLM results showed that the interaction of ‘time × different combinations of predators and aphids × ant’ (F = 0.211; df = 10‚ 317; P = 0.995)‚ ‘ant × time’ (F = 0.490; df = 2‚ 317; P = 0.613) and ‘different combinations of predators and aphids × time’ (F = 1.639; df = 10‚ 317; P = 0.095) on the survival rate were not significant

The main question posed was whether the behavior of the mealworms would be affected by the variable of light‚ and whether they would move towards or away from the light source (taxis). We placed ten mealworms into two adjoining containers and tried to simulate the effects of above ground and underground by exposing the mealworms to minimal amounts of light in one of the containers (underground)

This visualization was reinforced in other places of the writing when the character spoke to animals to get out of her way: “Out of my way‚ all you foxes‚ owls‚ and beetles”.
