Woodlice Investigation Introduction: The ecological niche of the woodlice Porcellio scaber. The woodlouse Porcellio scaber is native to Europe but also commonly found in New Zealand. They live in cool‚ dark‚ damp microhabitats such as in rotting wood‚ under rocks‚ in caves and leaf litter. Small insectivorous rodents and birds as well as some spiders feed on woodlice. In the rotting log from which I gathered my specimens there were also millipedes‚ crickets‚ weta and spiders living. Woodlice

Who normally conducts the preliminary investigation? What are some of the actions the first responders can take once they arrive at the scene of the crime? Since the preliminary investigation starts when the first emergency call is received‚ it is typically administered by the patrol officers who are first to respond to the scene. First responders can either preserve or contaminate the crime scene‚ which can possibly result in either the success or failure of the prosecution. Accordingly‚ the steps

A. Introduction Three phase transformers are used throughout industry to change values of three-phase voltage and current. Since three-phase power is the most common way in which power is produced‚ transmitted‚ and used‚ an understanding of how three phase transformer connections are made is essential. In this section it will discuss different types of three phase transformers connections. A three-phase transformer is constructed by winding three single-phase transformers on a single core. These

to a greater number of species present. In this investigation‚ I am going to take the role of an ecologist to survey two different areas of two different grasslands (pasture and park grassland) and estimate the biodiversity. I will be doing this investigation in a group of four students and we will be using taking samples in a quadrat and then measure the soil temperature‚ soil pH and moisture in those quadrats. Hypothesis: In this investigation‚ I expect the species richness of the pastures

By “electric current”‚ I mean by the rate at which electric charges moves through a circuit‚ the electric charges can either be ions or electrons. They are measured in ammeters and the unit that is measured in is ampere which is the number of charges that passes through per second. There are many factors which would affect the electric current‚ like the voltage of

I predict that the woodlice would prefer a dark‚ damp and a temperature of around 15oC. (The ground temperature of a typical Scottish day). This preference to dark and damp surroundings is mainly due to woodlouse’s inefficient water-storage system. A woodlouse‚ if exposed to heat or light for too long‚ can die due to the dramatic loss of water. They prefer a moderate temperature‚ because they are so small‚ and can be damaged by frost if they are exposed to the extreme of cold‚ but they
