A control was used in the investigation of amphipods and sea butterflies to provide a baseline for comparison. By having a control group of organisms that were not exposed to the same conditions as the experimental group, researchers were able to measure the effects of the specific variables being tested. This helps to determine if changes observed in the experimental group were due to the variables being studied or other factors.

How can butterflies help your garden?

Butterflies can help your garden by pollinating flowers as they feed on nectar, aiding in the reproduction of plants. Additionally, butterflies have larvae that can help control pest populations by feeding on harmful insects. Attracting butterflies to your garden also adds beauty and diversity to the ecosystem.


What is the control in an investigation?

The control in an investigation is something that is not changed in an experiment. Lets say you have and experiment were you are applying sunlight to plants to see how much sunlight affects the plant. The Sunlight will be the VARIABLE (what is changed) and if you are using the same type of plant, The plant would be the CONTROL.


How do butterflies maintain homeostasis?

A butterfly is not able to maintain their own body temperature. They are basically at the mercy of their surroundings temperature. This is the main reason they are not out during winter months.


Do butterflies have artificial breeding?

Yes, but with limitaions. The process is used mostly for studies of genetics and disease control in sericulture applications (silk worms). I am looking into this subject for an extended research application. Most of the work being done is in Japan and India.


What is the relationship between monarch butterflies and other insects?

Monarch butterflies share a complex relationship with other insects in their ecosystem. They are both preyed upon by some insects for food, while also benefiting from interactions such as pollination by certain insect species. Additionally, monarch caterpillars feed exclusively on milkweed plants, which helps control the population of other insects that may compete with milkweed for resources.
