The basic metapopulation model explains how to find the proportion of occupied patches, ?, in a fragmented habitat. In this model, ? is 1 minus the probability of extinction, ?, divided by the probability of colonization, ?. ?=1−?/? The basic metapopulation model also allows for the calculation of extinction rates and colonization rates. Use the data in the table to calculate the missing rates of extinction and rates of colonization. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Plot survivorship curves for all three species illustrated in Table 1 on a single graph. Label the axes and provide a clear legend convert it and make use of legend, so for the first species it would be 6months=1unit, then for the second species 1yr=1unit, and the third species would be 50yrs=1unit
Based on the interaction between species A and species B in the previous question, choose the most likely combination of alpha and beta coefficients.a. alpha = 1, beta = 10b. alpha = 10, beta = 1c. alpha = 1, beta = 1d. alpha = 0, beta = 1Previous questionTwo species of aquatic snails live in a nearby creek. Species A is a very strong competitor of Species B, who is a weak competitor. What do you expect will happen to the realized niche of Species B if both species share the same fundamental niche? IT decreases
One characteristic that distinguishes a populationin an extinction vortex from most otherpopulations is that(A) it is a rare, top-level predator.(B) its effective population size is lower than itstotal population size.(C) its genetic diversity is very low.(D) it is not well adapted to edge conditions.
Assume that the population of the greater roadrunner in the Guadelope Desert was 250 per hectare at the beginning of 1999. If the carrying capacity, K , is 750 and r=0.25 per year, what is the number ofroadrunners: (a) after a year later, (b) ten years later, (c) after a score, (d) a century later, and (e) a millennium later?
Two species have the same initial population size of 48.00, as well as rates of b = 0.83 and d = 0.66. However, species A reproduces seasonally and species B reproduces relatively continuously. How much bigger would the population of species B be after five years as compared to species A?
The long-leaf pine forest ecosystem once extended across 95 million acres of the southeastern US. However only 5 million acres now remain causing major declines in the Gopher tortoise population. Given this, what is expected to happen to overall diversity of species that depend on Gopher Tortoise burrows?a. increaseb. decreasec. stay the same
what does it mean if the growth rate is 0.090, probability of extinction is 0.00, mean population is 240, and genetic diversity is 92? Please explain how they relate with each other.
Meta population models focus on the BIDE (birth, immigration, death, emigration) dynamics, colonization and extirpation. A) Explain how these relate to genetic bottlenecks and explain why meta population models have a hard time predicting such events? B) Why is the island biogeography model a strong example of meta population dynamics?
In 2011, approximately 23% (1138) of mammal species and 12% (1253) of bird species were globally threatened. These two groups have been thoroughly studied. The case with other groups of organisms is not well known. A large number of the threatened species are concentrated in tropical rain forest habitats, where biodiversity is high. Which of the following data options could be used to determine the cause of biodiversity decline in tropical habitats?
If 99% of the species that ever existed are now extinct, why is there such concern over the extinction rates over the last several centuries?
Natural processes of species formation and extinction emerge on a timescale measured in millions of years, whereas human-mediated extinctions are measured on a scale of years to decades. How does this discrepancy complicate our attempts to conserve biodiversity?
