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-> Porcentage 75- 50- 25 O Visits 4. What CLAIM can be made from the collected data? 5. What is the independent variable? 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
