How Does Climate Affect the Emerging Rate of Pupae?
The purpose of the experiment was to find out how the climate, or the weather over a long period of time would affect the emerging rate of pupae. I attached one pupae to each of my three boxes. I put one in the refrigerator, one in room temperature, and one in the heat pad box. The pupa in the refrigerator/cold climate took 33 days to emerge. The pupa in room temperature took 8 days to emerge. The one in the heat pad box took only 4 days. There were a few uncertainties, like the refrigerator door was left open overnight and the heat box with the heat pad was also left open. I did a test on how climate affects the emerging rate of a pupa. My hypothesis was correct, the pupa in the heat pad box took the shortest amount of time to emerge.
