Data Set 2 Frass and Predators A further experiment was conducted to test whether predators could be attracted by the smell of frass Artificial shelters similar to those of the caterpillars were placed with either 6 frass pellets or 6 beads designed to look like frass Predator wasps were introduced to the containers Each wasp had to individually choose between larva in a shelter with its frass and a larva in a shelter with pellets to visually imitate the frass but not the smell The percentage of time spent by each wasp at each container was recorded 100 Porcontago 75 50 25 4 What CLAIM can be made from the collected data 5 What is the independent variable Visits What is the dependent variable 6 Summarize the EVIDENCE that supports the claim Time Bead Shelter Frass Shelter 7 Consider both data sets Answer the experimental question and use REASONING in the analysis with regard to the behavior of flinging frass 8 Extension Another hypothesis suggests that frass flinging occurs because waste reduces overall fitness and
