P.G.
You’re a research ecologist working on Pieris rapae in your lab. You are interested in whether or not the larvae of your species will eat non-native host plant species that are out of their native preference because they have been recently introduced to your state. You decide to run a leaf disc bioassay to understand caterpillar preference better when caterpillars have access to multiple non-native species. You choose to study their preference for the following non-native species; Ethiopian rapa (Brassica carinata), Common Blue-mustard (Chorispora tenella), Corn Mustard (Sinapis arvensis), and White Mustard (Sinapis alba). For your experiment, you use 350 – 4th instar caterpillars. The caterpillars are given a choice between leaf discs of all four plants Caterpillars that stay in the central area of the choice chamber are considered to have made”no choice.”
Here is the data from your experiment: (I don’t know the withheld number)
No-choice: [numbers withheld]
Ethiopian rapa: [numbers withheld]
Common Blue-mustard: [numbers withheld]
Corn Mustard: [numbers withheld]
White Mustard: [numbers withheld]
Use the χ2-test to determine whether these results are statistically significant. Please make sure to show your work. Next, explain whether you can reject your null hypothesis. Again, be sure to state your hypothesis and the null hypothesis. Finally, explain how you would interpret these results.
