A biologist determines the growth rate of a population of 198 frogs in a marsh near Beaverhill Lake, Alberta, to evaluate the quality of the environment. The researcher finds that, in one year, 34 were born, 86 died, 12 migrated into the marsh, and there was no emigration. a. frogs are considered an indicator species for the quality of the environment. Determine whether the growth rate of this population in one year is a cause for concern. if so, what might the concerns be?
Which of the subsequent options is not included in the red list criteria for species classified as "critically endangered"? 1. The population is projected to decrease by 25% or more within a span of 3 years or 1 generation. 2. The species possesses a limited range of less than 100km2 in a solitary location, and there is evidence of or anticipated habitat loss, fragmentation, ecological imbalance, or significant commercial pollution. 3. The likelihood of extinction exceeds 50% within a timeframe of 10 years or 3 generations. 4. The overall population size consists of fewer than 200 mature individuals.
Which of the following is not a part of the red list criteria for "critically endangered" species? The population is expected to decline by 25% or more within 3 years or 1 generation. The species has a restricted range <100km2 at a single location and there is observed or predictive habitat loss, fragmentation, ecological imbalance or heavy commercial pollution. Extinction probably is greater than 50% within 10 years or 3 generations. The total population size is less than 200 mature individuals.
