Figure 19.11 Age structure diagrams for rapidly growing, slow growing, and stable populations are shown in stages 1 through 3. What type of population change do you think stage 4 represents?
A student decides to use the mark-recapture technique to estimate thepopulation size of mosquitofish in a small pond near his home. In thefirst catch, he marked 45 individuals. Two weeks later, he captured 62individuals, of which 8 were marked. What is the estimated size of thepopulation based on these data?a. 134 c b. 349 c. 558 d. 1,016 e. 22,320
One concept of conservation biology is known as minimum viablepopulation. Some species’ populations are so fragmented andsmall that they may have very little genetic variability left. Withminimal genetic variation in the population, there is little likelihoodthat a population can adapt to an environmental threat, such as anew disease. Florida panthers are at or below the minimum viablepopulation level (estimated population less than 80). 1)Do you think that it is practical to use limited resources toconserve a population like the Florida panther? 2)Why?
1. Moose Management Area 6, WMU 350 In 1993–94, aerial counts of moose populations in Wildlife Management Unit 350 showed a density of 0.45 moose/km2 in the 5788 km2 area surveyed. What was the total population size (N)? 2. Another population count of Moose Management Area 6, WMU 350 occurred in 1997–98.This time, the population size was estimated at 3204 moose. What was the population density (Dp)? 3.Compare the two population sizes from the two counts of WMU 350 and determine the following variables. Show your work. ΔN: Growth rate: Per capita growth rate:
You want to estimate the population size of pink salmon in the upper pitt river and use a mark-recapture technique to do so. You mark 1313 individuals as they pass under the port mann bridge. two weeks later you recapture 2245 individuals in pitt lake of which 204 have marks on them. What is your estimate of the population size?

If these conditions held constant – what would the expected heterozygosity be in thepopulation today (2018 to deal with a clean integer value for generations)?1b. In 1884 the population had grown to 106 when disaster struck the island. Of the 19 adult menon the island, 15 were in the same fishing boat that capsized, leaving only 4 adult men alive onthe island. These desperate times may have changed the sex ratio of the breeding population onthe island. Let’s say that now, each man fathered children with an average of 1.5 differentwomen (male:female ratio of 1:1.5). If we start back with a heterozygosity of 0.5 from this point,given the effective population size on Tristan da Cunha, what is the expected heterozygosity inthe current population 7 generations later?1c. The scenarios described in 1a and 1b are examples of which two evolutionary phenomena,respectively?
A fish biologist goes out and samples (sample 1) a population of salmon. A total of 109 (M) salmon were marked and released. At this time, a proportion of fish in the total population has a mark and we assume that this proportion remains constant. On a second sampling trip (sample 2), the biologist collected 177 (C) salmon and 57 (R) of those were marked from the initial sample. How large is the population?
A large conservation agency in Austria is interested in the status of the endangered newt species, Triturus austriacus, and wants you to estimate population sizes. Describe at least two methods based on genetic markers such as microsatellites which could be used to estimate effective population size (NE). Compare their relative advantages and disadvantages.

A founder population of interesting creatures is established, and the average probability of identity by descent is calculated for each subsequent generation as follows: Generation F 1 0.05 2 0.0975 3 0.142625 4 0.2283625 a) What are the effective population sizes Ne for each Generation 1 through 4, relative to Generation 0 (the founder population)? b) What is the effective population size of Generation 4 relative to Generation 3? c) Is there any evidence for changes in population size after the founder event, and if so, at which generation did the size change in the number of breeding individuals occur?
