Demons in the Dirt

CSEF · 2004 Zoology

Overview

Objectives/Goals My project was to determine if humidity has an effect on antlion predation. My hypothesis was that a higher humidiy would increase the number of ants an antlion would eat. Methods/Materials Two humidity chambers were constructed, one with high humidity and one with low. Six antlions were used in the experiment, three in each chamber. The antlions were fed an aqual number of ants and the number of ants eaten by each antlion was recorded. Results The differing humidities had no effect on antlion predation. Conclusions/Discussion My conclusion is that humidity has little or no effect on the number of ants an antlion eats.

Summary statement

My project is about humidity having an effect on antlion predation.
