Beige and black rabbits were introduced into two meadows. One meadow predominantly consists of volcanic soil and the other predominantly consists of clay soil. Each rabbit was marked with a dot of blue paint and the pad of his foot. The number of rabbits released and recaptured one month later are shown in the table below. Assume the number of rabbits recaptured is a direct reflection of the number of rabbits surviving. Using the data below, what conclusions can you make regarding the color of rabbits and their survival in different soil types? VOLCANIC SOIL # released #recaptures % precentage beige rabbits 137 18 13.1% black rabbits 447 123 27.5% CLAY SOIL # released # recaptures % precentage beige rabbits 393 54 13.1% black rabbits 406 19 4.7%

The grassland ecosystem of Montana is being studied for its resilience as the population of its keystone species, the prairie dog, has declined in recent years. Four plots are established, two that still contain populations of prairie dogs and two that no longer have prairie dogs due to outbreaks of plague. A survey is done measuring the total number of producers (number of plants) and the diversity of producers (number of species) of each plot. The data are summarized in the table. Based on this data, which of the following correctly describes how the total number of plant and plant species will change over time in these plots? A - Plots 2 and 3 will show equal decline in plant and plant species due to the lack of a keystone species. B - Plots 1 and 4 will show a decline in plant and plant species due to an increase in the number of prairie dogs consuming the producers. C - Plots 2 and 3 will show a decline in plant and plant species, but plot 3 will show a slower decline due to a…
Miss L is bored in the summer, so she wants to estimate the population of weeds on her property. The property measures 20 m x 20 m. She randomly places ten 1 m x 1 m quadrats on her property as shown in the diagram below. What is the estimated population size? Only write the numerical value.

You wish to determine the abundance of the state- and federally-endangered Prairie Fringed Orchid (Platanthera lecuophaea) in a local prairie. (a) The prairie is approximately 100 acres of relatively flat terrain. Considering the “basic” sampling strategies, what might be a good sampling design (can just give the name)? Why? (b) You decide also to evaluate the abundance of the orchid in another prairie. The second prairie is of similar size but has a hilly terrain. What might be a good sampling strategy? Why?
