1.In wildlife management, population numbers must be sustainable in that populations cannot exceed the environment’s ability to support them. Using the ∆N formula, consider the following: Coyotes are members of the Canis family, or dog family, that wanders natural or agricultural grasslands and temperate forest in search of rodents and small prey. Occasionally they will form packs to bring down a larger animal – perhaps a young, sick, or old deer. In this scenario, assume population numbers of coyotes have increased dramatically. a.Using your knowledge of the ∆N formula, provide four possible causes for this dramatic increase in population. b.Assume you are a wildlife manager and that the high coyote population is resulting in more human/coyote interactions. Steps need to be taken to correct the imbalance in coyotes. Provide two ecologically sound solutions to the problem.
