达尔文的蚯蚓(国外英文资料) In order to answer these questions, Darwin in his famous experiments using three inch triangles instead of leaves. Each card draw two parallel lines with the bottom edge and the end edge, vertex distance between three parts, this paper, earthworms drag data can be classified into three categories, namely (a) by earthworms from near the apex (b) holding a point on the bottom, or (c) by earthworms pulling two parallel lines into the central burrow. Earthworms will drag the cave of plant leaves, according to analysis from Darwin, earthworms usually drag root pine needles petiole; laburnum root tip and the petiole leaf was half and half chance of drag; Linden leaves are usually the tip is pulled. And if it is a triangular paper, the probability of dragging the vertex is 2/3. Prior to the experiment on earthworms, Darwin set up another set of controlled trials. Each position with tweezers respectively hold the paper triangles, and then drag them into a thin tube diameter and earthworm burrows in equivalent (see top photo). He found that if the hold is not stuck in the edge angle, paper tube and can be dragged into it, the final rule in the tapered involute tube. If you hold the corner below the vertex angle, the thin paper will fold easily. Similarly, hold the bottom side or bottom disk will appear the same situation, and this paper into the results by capillary resistance -- as we expected, much more. The basal portion of each paper triangle is five times the size of the vertex region, Darwin reasoned that, if the earthworm behavior is random -- determined by chance, so the number of triangles in the drag from the bottom edge of the burrow should be at least five times the number of pieces of paper into it from the apex of the. Also, the bottom edge of the area two base with the clip favorable, and the vertex region only such a position; the same length can drag the bottom area is far greater than the angle area of the top. The above inference, if establi
