Animal Behaviour
Hypothesis
In this experiment, we will be investigating the behaviour of a mated female jewel wasp (Nasonia vitripennis) when it is presented with a selection of hosts for it offspring. There will be one living pupae and one dead pupae available for the wasp to examine. It is hypothesis that the wasp will spend more time examining the live pupae, and less time examining the dead pupae. The wasp is expected to spend more time examining the living pupae because it will need to check the host's quality and determine a location for it to inject its eggs.......
