bugs prefer one zone or a certain temperature we will be able to find out the natural habitats and the nature of the bug. BACKGROUND The common name for these beetles is the Red Rust Flour Beetle but if you want the scientific name you will find, Tribolium Castaneum. It belongs to the family, Tenebrionidae. The adult size beetle is about three to four millimetres and has an elongated body that is more or less parallel shaped. It is red brown or a dark brown in colour, this beetle is recognised because
Tribolium Population Dynamics Proposal Names: Samuel Higgins, Zach Kuban, Bryan Nguyen, Tejal Patel (Group 5) BIOL 1442 Section: 12 Lab Instructor: Ashley Asmus Intraspecific Competition in Populations of Tribolium castaneum and Tribolium confusum RESEARCH QUESTION: How does intraspecific competition between Tribolium affect population growth? BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A population is a group of species that live, interact, and interbreed in a geographic area. Intraspecific competition
The confused flour beetle, Tribolium Confusum is an organism that is approximately 4.35mm in body length and is made up of three sections, the prognathous head, rounded abdomen and a straight sided thorax, which are flat, shiny, elongated and rigid, reddish brown (Stuart M Bennett 2003). This beetle consists of two segmented antennas at the front of its body along with two small dark colored notched eyes, separated by more than three eye diameters, which allow the beetle to identify small disturbances
A pest is an organism that competes with people for food or fiber and interfere with raising crops and livestock. There are four main types of pests: invertebrates Disease agents Weeds Vertebrates This paper mainly deals with insects, an example of invertebrate and the most common pests. Pests can be beneficial, meaning that they may produce a product or a bi-product or their body may contain a dye or food resource. Eg:silk,honey,or insects that are used as bait for fish. There are
