1. Haunted Territory
This process was repeated as we located webs and the data from all experimenters were collected and totaled.
Results.
Niche partitioning can be utilized by placement factors. Therefore, an ANOVA test was utilized to compare the heights of the different webs.
This demonstrated a partitioning in which the height of the webs for species 1 - 65.25, 4-54.80 and 7-57.50 were separated from species 2-98.47, 3-93.19 and 5-88.50. Further, the data showed a possible separation for species 4 & 5 and 5 & 7. Therefore, a t-test was performed:.
Due to P-Value being 0.118 and 0.133 respectively, this shows that there is no significant difference.
This represents that niche partitioning could be accounted by placement for species number one in comparison to species two and three and species two and three in comparison to species four, five and seven; but it does not account for species two and three or species one, four, five, and seven.
Independently, our personal study looked at the placement of the web in regards to how it was attached. Whether it was attached to flowers, weeds, etc. or to trees, shrubs, etc. .
This showed a strong difference in the species argiope, who placed their webs in grassy weeds, flowers, etc. and species Neoscone and Cyclosa, who hung their webs from shrubs and trees.
Though this differentiated some of the species, it did not account for all. Therefore, we looked at the structure .
of the web.
While species one differentiated itself from species two and three by height, this represented that species two and three differentiated themselves by radius. Further a t-test is performed between four and seven.
Species four and seven show minor discrepancy and therefore, t-test is conducted:.
This test shows that the radius has a significant difference between the two species. .
In reviewing the web's area:.
This shows possibility for niche partitioning in regards to area between species one and species two; species two and species three and species one and species three.
For example, The Dysdera crocata is a spider found in New Zealand gardens which preys on Slaters exclusively[1]. 1.2.2 Habitat Temperature Slaters are known to live in cool conditions. ... These include Ground Beetles, Spiders, Earwigs and Earthworms. ... Ground Beetles are known to prey on the Slater, along with spiders such as the Dysdera crocata which is common in many New Zealand gardens, therefore their relationship with the Slaters could be one of predation as they benefit from the relationship, gaining food for growth and other life processes whilst the slater is harmed by the relati...
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."1 Therefore, it makes sense that if mortals cannot bear the darkness, they [should not] not go there. If man dislikes "black night and yawning chasms,"2 then should he not even consider them? Shouldn't man seek out the sunshine, instead? The remedy is very simple: Avoid the darkness and seek the light. But, no. ...
Supply and demand is the basic economic concept students learn about in school. Remember the teacher drawing supply and demand graphs on the chalk board? Well, if you happened to fall asleep during class, all you really need to know is that supply and demand are intertwined and the concept is rooted...
