ESTIMATING POPULATION SIZE USING THE LINCOLN INDEX 1. A biologist wants to estimate the size of a population of turtles on an island. He captures 20 turtles on his first visit, and marks their backs with red paint. Two weeks later he returns to the island and captures 25 turtles. Five of these 25 turtles have red paint on their backs. Using the Lincoln index equation, calculate the estimated population 2. Overfishing in Antarctica has resulted in a steep decline in Patagonian toothfish. Fishery scientists are monitoring the population size to see if it is recovering by using the mark-release-recapture method and the Lincoln index equation. On their initial visit, the scientists caught and marked 100 specimens. When they returned on a second visit, they captured a total of 70 Patagonian toothfish. If the scientists estimated the population size was 700, how many of the recaptured toothfish were marked? Show all working.

Polar bears live on the ice cap near the North Pole. Their numbers aredwindling, apparently because of both pollution and global climatechange. List some specific ways that the melting of the Arctic ice capmight affect polar bear populations.
Use the information provided: population experiences density-dependent growth K or carrying capacity is 180 r = 0.032 individual/month 1. Calculate how many bugs are added to the population next month when population size is 65? 2. Now keeping the condition of density dependent growth, let's change some numbers: K=270 and r=0.13. If the current population is 125 bugs, how large will the population be in 12 months?
Article readings: Why some animals are more important to ecosystem than others. From the article, list down all the species being described as keystone species and their negative effect when removed from their ecosystem. Define the ‘Keystone species concept” and differentiate it from “morphological species concept”. How does a keystone species plays its role in having a trophic cascade scenario? 1 sentence only.
Biodiversity: Values & Threats 1. In terms of the number of species in various taxonomic groups, what types of organisms represent thegreatest diversity on our planet? And how do we know we’re not “done” cataloging all of life on earth? 2. When scientists try to estimate the number of species that actually exist on earth today, why is thefigure so variable? 3. Describe the global biodiversity patterns found in relation these parameters:Latitude Precipitation Elevation 4. In a well-crafted paragraph (5-7 descriptive sentences) specifically describe 4 key ways thatbiodiversity benefits mankind. Use examples to support each of your statements.
A species is considered to be endangered if it is expected to be extinct within 20years. A population of porpoise has approximately 1, 150 members alive today, and thepopulation has been steadily declining at an annual rate of about 36% over the pastdecade. In what year is the population expected to have only 1 individual left alive?Should this species of porpoise be considered endangered?
