Describe two of the threats facing native species inHawaii, and two actions people have taken to address thesethreats. What new trend is now jeopardizing some ofthese efforts? What steps do you think might be requiredin the future if we are to safeguard native species inmountainous habitats in places like Hawaii?

You are part of a restoration ecology program that is attempting to reintroduce an endangeredbird to a new habitat in Michigan, where they have been locally extinct for decades. The species went through an extreme bottleneck after they were almost wiped-out due to insecticide use in the 1960s. Maintaining what limited genetic diversity remains is an important priority, especially because disease spread from other bird speciesrepresents a major threat to the struggling populations of these birds. Captive-bred warblersdestined for this site have been genotyped at a neutral marker locus “D” with two alleles, D95and D135. The genotype counts in the captive animals are as follows:D135/D135 = 12, D135/D95 = 20, and D95/D95 = 48 2a. If all the species are used to start the new population, what is the probability that thepopulation eventually becomes fixed for allele D95 through drift?2b. Let’s assume the population stays the same size (as the number of introduced individuals) inthe new…
