Re: control on crickets and tempuriture.
Hi,
This is a great project! 'Control' in this case is a little problematic because you are looking for a linear response between chirping and temp. I would consider it to be 'room temperature', before you change the temp. There are also other variables you will want to keep constant--humidity, light levels, etc.
Why are you keeping them in differently sized groups? Do you think that will make a difference? If so, you might want to have single crickets as your control.
