From the data observed, it was observed that when the bee is in its larval stage, it has high chances of mortality. This is due to the low population density of worker bees present on the hive. Worker bees are vital to the broods’ development since they are the ones feeding them. Small number of nurse bees ultimately leads to the deprivation of food. Temperature could have affected them too. Lack of food for larva leads to starvation and definitely, to death. Type III survivorship curve was found

In this essay I will discuss the results collected on the fieldtrip and describe how they are able to show that the rebranding process has been successful. In order to find out whether the number of people visiting the city centre of Plymouth has increased, I carried out the quantitative method of pedestrian counts at 2

First, the peak is significantly lower (represented by the gray line) as stated earlier with a 2:1 ratio. This suggests that the virus is not as devastating to the human population at its most intense point in the simulation. Second, the peak infection number comes much later in the 2:1 simulation. It actually takes longer for the peak infection to occur as more mosquitoes are removed. With a 5:1 ratio the peak comes at day

There are many similarities and differences between the United States of America and Ethiopia. The U.S. has around 300 million people, while Ethiopia having about 100 million being 3rd and 10th place in population. But by population density America has about 33 people per square kilometer(.62 miles), while Ethiopia has 85 people per square kilometer, meaning Ethiopia is both a lot smaller and a lot more dense than America. Though I like a bunch of people in a city, Ethiopia would probably be too
