Pill Bugs Behavior
Animal Behavior in Isopods based on Climate, Light, and Surface Abstract
Pill bugs, (also named sow or potato bugs) are terrestrial crustaceans that consume decomposed leaves or other plants. In the lab performed on September 24, 2010, animal behavior of the isopods was recorded, specifically in the climate that they preferred. Various climates situations such as Light vs. Dark, Hot vs. Cold, and Wet vs. Dry were tested and observed. The results came back with the pill bugs favoring dark, wet environments. However the data took 10 minutes to be collected and the bugs’ behavior was that of kinesis. Introduction
Animal behavior envelops a wide variety of information. Learned and genetic behaviors, as well as taxis and kinesis, which was
