Population Study

Observational study

What does the population of milkweed bugs need to survive in a classroom?
Water, shelter, food, air, female/male, sunflower seeds.
How do milkweed bugs reproduce and grow?
Male/female, mating, laying eggs
What is the relationship between individuals, populations, communities, and abiotic factors in an ecosystem?
more than one individual is a population. More than one population is a community. And a community and abiotic factors make up an ecosystem.
How is the milkweed bug habitat similar to and different from Jane Goodall population study?
They were both making observation, ours is a controlled set up, Jane Goodalls wasn’t not in a controlled set up.
