RE: Spiders on Drugs - and why this is not just funny Nonsense

in #science7 years ago (edited)

The effects were not quantified by comparing directly the webs constructed by spiders influenced with different drugs, but only by an computer-performed algorithmn 'measuring' the increasing geometric dissorder. > Then this results could bei compared to each other. (Giving pretty much the same image one is intuitively seeing as you have your first look on the webs.)
As i already stated in the article, this method misses explanatory power, since it is a whole different organismn and it also does not tell you what is going on in the test-organism, but only how strongly the normal behavior of the test-organism is affected by a given substance.
