Slide 2: Create a slide that presents the following information about your insect Order.

Question

These are resources that provide reliable information about insects:
UF Featured Creatures (contains peer-reviewed information)
Encyclopedia of Life (contains peer-reviewed information)
the habitat of insects in the Order
the diet of insects in the Order
the life cycle of insects in the Order
at least one unique trait of insects in the Order
make sure that this unique trait is NOT a morphological trait that helped you to identify your insect
for example: if you needed to identify the coiled mouthparts of your Lepidopteran sample in the dichotomous key, present a DIFFERENT unique feature/fact about this insect order than the coiled mouthparts
Slide 3: Insert a completed table (similar/identical to the one from step #11 in Part six on page 69) that presents information about Wolbachia infection in your insect Order:
You must include information from two peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles for your insect's Order AND information from local insects collected by former BIOL 1107L students.
The local information is available again here. Don't forget to properly cite this data on this slide and in your final references slide. The full citation information can be viewed below the graph (personal communication) when you click the link to the data.
Be sure to include information about prevalence from all three sources. Do NOT include information about habitat, etc.
You will also need to upload the marked copies of your 2 articles (as described in Folio, Exercise 3 Part six).
Slide 4: Present your prediction about Wolbachia infection in your insect sample, and state your rationale for this prediction.
You should have written this prediction in step #12 on page 69.
You should state a prediction regarding the presence or absence of Wolbachia in your insect.
Remember that a prediction includes a method of testing AND a predicted outcome.
After your prediction, you should include the rationale for your prediction.
You should explain why you made the prediction that you did based upon the information about prevalence in the two peer-reviewed articles AND information about insects previously collected here by BIOL 1107L students.
Slide 5: You need to provide references for your work in the proper format.
The PowerPoint Style Guide provides directions for how to do this, and these directions are also listed below.
Use the CitationsCitationsCitations reminders also!
Your assignment will lose a significant amount of points if you do not follow these directions.
Create a numbered list of references on this slide.
Refer to the directions from Exercise 1 the proper format for citations, including citations for videos and lab manual chapters (be sure to cite the correct lab manual chapter).
Remember to update author names and exercise titles when citing a lab manual chapter OTHER than exercise 1.
This information is also in the CitationsCitationsCitations Folio file!
You need to revisit the slides you've just created (slides 1-4 above) to add small superscript numbers next to information that you found from sources, such as your lab manual or other provided sources.
Each piece of information that you gathered from a source for your slides should be referenced in this way.
The small superscript number on the slides next to the information should correspond to the numbered source on slide 5 from which you found that piece of information.

Answer 1

Sure! Below, I'll provide a structure for your PowerPoint slides based on the information you've shared. This will outline what each slide may contain.

Slide 2: Insect Order Overview

Title: [Name of Your Insect Order]

• Reliable Resources

  • UF Featured Creatures: Contains peer-reviewed information on various insects.
  • Encyclopedia of Life: Hosts comprehensive, peer-reviewed details about insect species.

• Habitat

  • Insects in the order [insert order name] are commonly found in [describe habitats, e.g., forests, wetlands, grasslands].

• Diet

  • The diet of these insects typically includes [describe diet, e.g., plant materials, other insects, decomposing matter].

• Life Cycle

  • Insects of this order undergo a life cycle that includes [describe life cycle stages, e.g., egg, larva, pupa, adult].

• Unique Trait

  • An interesting trait of this order is [insert unique non-morphological trait, such as reproductive strategies, social behaviors, or ecological roles].

Slide 3: Wolbachia Infection Table

Title: Wolbachia Infection Overview in [Your Insect Order]

| Source | Prevalence of Wolbachia | Notes | |---------|-------------------------|-----------------------------------| | Study 1 | [Insert prevalence %] | [Insert key findings from the study] | | Study 2 | [Insert prevalence %] | [Insert key findings from the study] | | BIOL 1107L Data | [Insert local prevalence %] | [Insert summary of local findings] |

References for articles (these should correspond with the cited sources on Slide 5)

• [Reference for Study 1]
• [Reference for Study 2]

Slide 4: Prediction About Wolbachia Infection

Title: Prediction on Wolbachia Presence in [Your Insect Sample]

• Prediction:

  • I predict that [Your Insect Sample] will [explain if you expect to find Wolbachia or not].

• Rationale:

  • This prediction is based on the prevalence data obtained from [mention two peer-reviewed articles and BIOL 1107L study]. [Provide a brief summary of how the prevalence influences your prediction, e.g., "Given that both studies showed significant prevalence rates, I believe there is a high likelihood of Wolbachia presence in my sample."]

Slide 5: References

Title: References

1. Author(s), Year. Title of the article. Journal Name. Volume(Issue), pages. DOI/Publisher.
2. Author(s), Year. Title of the article. Journal Name. Volume(Issue), pages. DOI/Publisher.
3. Personal communication. BIOL 1107L data, [Date].
4. Lab Manual, [Author/Editor], [Year]. Title of the Lab Manual (Chapter X).
5. [Any additional references].

Additional Notes:

• Remember to format your references properly according to your course requirements.
• Ensure each piece of information on slides corresponds with the correct citation on Slide 5.
• Review the slides for clarity, and adjust the content based on the specifics of your insect order and findings.

Feel free to modify your insect order's specific details as necessary based on your research!
