Habitat Slaters mostly inhabit moist areas and are commonly found under rocks and logs‚ in leaf litter in forested areas and in the garden. Some species are found in the semiarid regions of inland Australia and several introduced species are common inhabitants of suburban areas commonly living in compost heaps and other moist situations. http://www.ento.csiro.au/education/allies/isopoda.html (19/03/15) Where to find them?

Upper Hutt College Year 13 Biology Slater Study Achievement standard: biology 3.1 Introduction to experiment: In this investigation of the ecological niche of the woodlouse‚ I chose to experiment the amount of soil moisture that the slaters tend to prefer. I chose this aspect‚ as moisture is a vital part in the survival of this small creature. Internet sources provided information of the woodlice that shows that they are from crustacean descent and formerly aquatic even though

Report on the distribution of slaters in different level of soil pH Introduction Slater (woodlouse)‚ Biological name Porcellio scaber‚ is probably the most common species in New Zealand. They belong to the biological class Crustacea. Their size is about 17mm in length. They have rough exoskeleton and usually in dark grey colour. They have 7 pairs of legs‚ each pair is attached to the underneath of each thorax segment. Their body consists into three sections: head‚ thorax and abdomen‚ these are

Aim. The aim of this investigation is to find out how Slaters react to an increase or decrease of the temperature in its surroundings. Hypothesis The speed of the Slaters will increase when the temperature of its environment is increased or decreased from its preferred range‚ so it ensures that they spend less time in unfavorable conditions to avoid desiccation. Method 1. This experiment is done using a water bath to change and control the temperature being trialed. The water bath will have

In her essay‚ "Dr. Daedalus‚" Lauren Slater suggests that by altering our physical selves to emulate something more animal‚ our brains‚ and possibly even our souls‚ we become somehow more animal as well. She feels that we transform‚ and become more animal like every time we alter our body into the form of an animal. Slater is correct to point out that when we change our self to look more like animals we might have more in physical

Report Carry out a practical investigation in a biology context‚ with guidance. Name : Olivia Nilson Introduction Slaters (woodlice or porcellio scaber) are often found in gardens. They usually like to hide in cool moist dirt or in cold places such as under pots or bricks Aim : To investigate how temperature affects the speed of slaters Hypothesis : I predict that the slaters will move faster when the temperature is increased‚ above their preferred temperature range‚ as they try to find a way
