A population of wolves in a national park is known to be 150 individuals. As wildlife ecologist, you are tasked with assessing the accuracy of the mark and recapture technique. At the start, you mark 30 wolves, and your recapture yields 20 wolves, 5 of whom are marked. State whether the mark and recapture data results in an over or underestimation of the actual population size, and show work to support your claim.
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?
several years ago wolves were reintroduced in to a national park in North Carolina. Researchers have monitored the populations over the last several years and the per capita growth rate of the population is.5. If the current population size is 100, what equation would you use to determine how large he population will be in ten yearS? N/t *r N(1+r)^t (N*r)/t please highlight the answer
A population of bats exhibits logistic growth. The carrying capacity is 600 bats and the maximum per capita Growth rate (rmax) is 0.20. The population size was determined periodically. Determine the population growth rates based on a population size of 50, 100, 200, 350, 480, 500, 525, and 600 bats. Include up to three decimal places in your answers.

In a mark–recapture study to estimate the size of a rodent population, researchers catch and mark 180 individuals. Two days later, they again trapped and 40% of the 100 individuals captured carried a mark from 2 days earlier. Assuming all assumptions of the mark-and-recapture methods have been met, the estimated size of the population is Group of answer choices 720 450 360 600
The neighborhood of a lake has a population of snails, which come out onto the sidewalk when the sprinklers come on, and the rest of the time they hide in the vegetation. If you catch 20, and mark them and, then, a week later, after they have had a chance to disperse into the population, you catch 15, and 6 have marks on them, what is the estimated size of the population?
If each adult female powerful owl produces 1 female juvenile (F) each year, the adult survival rate (Sa) is 0.8, the juvenile survival rate (Sj) is 0.4, and the population is N2022=1400 adult females and 1400 juvenile females in 2022, what will be the female population size in 2027 (N2027)? Show your calculations. (hint: use excel to set up a model and check your work)

How do you calculate N (population size)? Is the mark-recapture method a reliable way to estimate population size?
After examining two specific organisms on Movebank.org, consider the movement trends of the two organisms and discuss the importance of this type of data. Consider the resources related to tracking methods and discuss the benefits of this kind of research in understanding and protecting wildlife populations. Is it important to know the details of wildlife populations? Is there a point do where scientists go too far? Share your opinion on the importance of knowing the size of a given population and defend your position.
