Data to Test the Impacts of Mites on Lizards Might

Question

Data to test the impacts of mites on lizards might include
A) Correlating number of eggs laid by females with the number of mites each female hosts
B) Experimentally manipulating mite numbers on lizards and subsequently follow lizard growth
C) Measuring lizard weight gain before and after mite removal
D) Adding food supplements to the diets of all lizards

Accepted Answer

A, B, and C directly relate to studying the impacts of mites on lizards by examining reproductive output, growth rates, and weight changes in relation to mite infestation levels. D does not specifically address the impact of mites but rather alters another variable (food intake) which could confound the effects of mites on lizards.
