11.20. Color Attraction for Oulema melanopus. Some colors are more attrac-
tive to insects than others. Wilson and Shade (1967) conducted an experi-
ment aimed at determining the best color for attracting cereal leaf beetles
(Oulema melanopus). Six boards in each of four selected colors (lemon yel-
low, white, green, and blue) were placed in a field of oats in July. The follow-
ing table (modified from Wilson and Shade, 1967) gives data on the number
of cereal leaf beetles trapped.

Green

(a) Based on computer output, state your conclusions about the attractive-
ness of these colors to the beetles. See also Fig. 11.13a.

(b) The null hypothesis is rejected. Which means differ? See Fig. 11.13b.
(c) Perform an ANOM analysis. Which means are different from the (over-
all) grand mean?
