1. The northern hairy-nosed wombat has experienced historical population declines, though population have stabilized recently due to conservation efforts. While studying them researchers noticed the following fluctuations in (effective) population size: Year 1: 100 individuals Year 2: 90 individuals Year 3: 50 individuals Year 4: 75 individuals Year 5: 90 individuals Year 6: 95 individuals A. Given this information what is the long-term effective population size of this particular population over the six years?
