Conservation Biology

The study of how to prevent the loss of biological diversity on the planet is called conservation. Biological diversity, also termed biodiversity, consists of various life forms found in a specific location or across the entire planet, including ecosystems, species, populations, and genes. Conservation thus aims to protect the diversity of life at all levels of biological organization.

Consider two genetically engineered organisms intended for use in the cleanup of hydrocarbon spills into the ocean. Bacterium alpha has a μmax of 1 d-1 and a ks of 0.1 mg/L. Bacterium beta has a μmax of 5 d-1 and a ks of 5 mg/L. If the hydrocarbon concentration is initially 1000 mg/L and the desired objective is to reduce concentrations below 0.1 mg/L what order of addition of the bacterial species is desired?
57. Lobster is a very valuable seafood export in Canada. The lobsters caught off the coast of Atlantic Canada make up 50% of the world lobster supply. In order to protect the lobster population from overfishing, the Government of Canada has conservation measures in place to ensure the population size is maintained. Some of the measurements include placing a limit on the number of fishing licenses issued, limiting the fishing seasons, establishing minimum and maximum lobster size limits, and protecting egg-bearing females. Fisheries and Oceans Canada regularly monitors and collects data to estimate the lobster population size.The carrying capacity of the lobster population can be best described as the Select one: a. initial bottom plateau in a logistic growth curve that demonstrates a stable population b. steep increase in an exponential growth curve that demonstrates the high biotic potential c. slow increase in a linear growth curve that demonstrates controlled and sustainable…
89)You study a population of mussels recently introduced to a section of the Rideau River 8 years ago. You know that 13 mussels were originally let go in the river by a resident. These mussels have no predators. You know from your research that, under ideal conditions, the instantaneous rate of increase of this mussel species is 0.16. You also think the conditions on the river were ideal when the mussels were introduced. After surveying the food available in the river, you estimated that there is enough food to support a population of 11,200 mussels. How many mussels do expect to be in the river now?

INTERPRET DATA Examine the top and middle graphs in Figure 54-5. Are these examples of exponential or logistic population growth? Where is K in each graph? (You may need to refer to Chapter 53 to answer these questions.) RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The top and middle graphs show how each species of Paramecium flourishes when grown alone. The bottom graph shows how they grow together, in competition with each other. In a mixed culture, P. aurelia outcompetes P. caudatum, resulting in competitive exclusion. SOURCE: Adapted from G.F.

Introduction The Rock Pocket Mouse The rock pocket mouse, Chaetodipus intermedius, is a small, nocturnal animal found in the deserts of thesouthwestern United States. Most rock pocket mice have a sandy, light-colored coat that enables them to blendin with the light color of the desert rocks and sand on which they live. However, populations of primarily dark-colored rock pocket mice have been found living in areas where the ground is covered in a dark rock calledbasalt caused by geologic lava flows thousands of years ago. Scientists have collected data from a population ofprimarily dark-colored mice living in an area of basalt called the Pinacate lava flow in Arizona, as well as from anearby light-colored population. Researchers analyzed the data from these two populations in search of thegenetic mutation responsible for the dark coat color. Their analyses led to the discovery of a mutation in theMc1r gene that is involved in coat-color determination. The MC1R Gene Two pigments…
