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

INTRODUCTION Pill bugs are most typically found in an outside environment and studies suggest that they prefer to live in a certain environment. This certain environment is moist‚ and in order to remain most it is most likely dark and cool as oppose to dry and hot. That is why most often when you turn over a large rock that hasn’t been disturbed in a while you will find pill bugs making shelter underneath of it. When pill bugs cannot have a habitat that provides them with enough moisture they

this family can roll into a ball‚ ability they share with the outwardly similar but unrelated pill millipedes and other animals. It is this ability which gives woodlice in this family their common name of pill bugs‚[1] doodle bugs‚ or roly polies. The best-known species in the family is Armadillidium vulgare‚ the common pill bug.

Lap Report: Pill Bugs Abstract The sow bug‚ also called the pill bug‚ is an isopod that does not have a wide range of items that it likes to eat. In the experiment we were trying to see how the pill bug reacted with certain man made substances and two substances that they would find in their everyday habitat. We tested ketchup‚ orange juice‚ sand‚ baking soda‚ flour and water. The pill bugs did not like the ketchup and orange juice I believe because of the strong acidic smell and it didn’t

ABSTRACT Pill bugs live in an outside environment where they are able to get the necessary amount of energy from organic matter. This environment is where water and organic matter is plentiful. In there natural habitat‚ pill bugs are found in dark‚ damp places. Living in moist places is important for pill bugs so they can take in enough water‚ and if water is not available‚ they group together to prevent water loss. Pill bugs most often live in dark places because they have a negative photo taxis

study of animal behavior is ethology. There are two basic categories of animal behavior: learned behavior and innate‚ or inherited‚ behavior. Learned behavior is when animals acquire knowledge about their behavior through experience. Unlike learned behaviors‚ innate behavior exists naturally in animals‚ meaning that animals are born with some behaviors. In order to find a suitable environment‚ animals use orientation behaviors. The two types of orientation behaviors are taxis and kinesis. Taxis is

Assessment The structural features of the pill bug allows it to have advantages over other organisms. The pillbugs multi-segmented body allows it to roll into a ball if it feels threatened or in danger in order to protect its self. Another advantage of have a multi-segmented body is it allows the pillbug to semi curl to flip its self back over if it is knocked down. The antennae is used to sense the environment around it‚ even if it is in ball shape form. The advantages of this is the pillbug

I aroused with a thumping headache‚ hoping my situation was just a deplorable dream. I was out of fortuity; I was stuck in the middle of the forest with Maple‚ the trail horse. I took a deep breath‚ stood up and held my phone to the empyrean. No bars‚ how typical I mentally conceived. I ambulated around in circles for a couple of minutes endeavoring to cerebrate of an orchestration. I took a visual examination of Maple eating wild grass‚ all of the sudden I decided that I was going to make the best
