B. Dubia for University Ecology Study

Pretty cool. A small difference, but I feel it helps to back up the case for oranges rather than no oranges. And you did a good job, in all. Thanks for posting your results!

Very nice study, so in your opinion what do you honestly think the difference would be if you had 1,000 breeding females with the appropriate male ratio. Also what are the temps, humidity and amount of light provided to the roaches in this study? Also do you have any idea of what oranges have that make this difference?

Demon Amphibians, I don't have the experience breading B. Dubia to make an honest prediction as to if oranges would affect their reproduction. And since this was a small study and the equipment available was minimal the temperatures and humidity's and light cycle times were not recorded but they were the same for both sets. Jeff, who posted earlier probably has a much better understanding to answer your questions about what it is in the oranges that might made a difference.
