You arrive on an alien planet and settle down to live there for a long time. There are very few species. Two of the species (A and B) are sometimes common and sometimes rare. When you start keeping track of population changes you discover that the population sizes fluctuate on a regular cycle in close synchrony. Species B always increases first, followed by species A. Which of the following would be the best explanation for what you are seeing? Group of answer choices -Species A is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species A's population change -Species A is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey population -Species B is a predator and there is a time lag between changes in the density of its prey and species B's population change -Species B is a predator and it can respond instantly to changes in its prey population
Data shown in this figure describes the species richness of mammals and birds among a variety of Sky islands. Which of the following best fits the correlations represented in the graphs? 1) number of individuals increases with area and decreases with isolation 2) species richness increases with area and decreases with isolation 3) species diversity varies depending on area and isolation? Follow up question which model of species distribution and abundance does this data support? 1) Species area relationship 2) species accumulation curve 3) island-biogeography 4) rapoport’s rule
One concept of conservation biology is known as minimum viablepopulation. Some species’ populations are so fragmented andsmall that they may have very little genetic variability left. Withminimal genetic variation in the population, there is little likelihoodthat a population can adapt to an environmental threat, such as anew disease. Florida panthers are at or below the minimum viablepopulation level (estimated population less than 80). 1)Do you think that it is practical to use limited resources toconserve a population like the Florida panther? 2)Why?
Assume a forest with 2 species of animals (A and B) and are competing for the same resources. Suppose species A dies at 1% per year and species B at 11.57% per year. A total of 6500 animals can survive in the forest. Species B has a higher birth rate and 65% of all new survival replacements go to them and the rest go to species A. What would the steady state number of species A animals be? please report a whole number.
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.
A student decides to use the mark-recapture technique to estimate thepopulation size of mosquitofish in a small pond near his home. In thefirst catch, he marked 45 individuals. Two weeks later, he captured 62individuals, of which 8 were marked. What is the estimated size of thepopulation based on these data?a. 134 c b. 349 c. 558 d. 1,016 e. 22,320
The table below shows the size of species A and B populations that live on a small island near Philippine.a) State how the information in the table can be used to determine thatthe species B is the predator.b) Briefly explain TWO (2) possible ecological reasons, other than humanactivity, for the change in species A population between 1985 and 1990.c) Name TWO (2)limiting factors that keep the species B population sizefrom growing any larger.
New Zealand snapper populations were found to be under the influence of genetic drift, suggesting overfishing was still an issue for them, despite the New Zealand fisheries estimating their total population size to be over 3 million. Which of the following is the best explanation for this observation? A) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often only have a few reproductive individuals, therefore their effective population size is actually much smaller than the total population size. B) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have an equal sex ratio which affects the number of breeding individuals. C) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have disassortative mating which affects the number of breeding individuals. D) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have assortative mating which affects the number of breeding individuals.
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
Eastern loggerhead shrike is a critically endangered species of bird in Canada. Its population has been declining since the 1960s, and it has been speculated that habitat loss, pesticide usage combined, and climate change have affected the shrike population size. In 2004, there were approximately 70 loggerhead shrikes breeding in Canada. Over the next five years, 111 new shrikes were born, 57 died, and 15 left the area. Calculate the change in the population of eastern loggerhead shrike between 2004 and 2009. Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number. Answer
Salt is notoriously dangerous to land snails; however, some populations of aquatic, freshwater snail have brackish (or a mix of salt and fresh water) water adaptations and live in different parts of a river system. A group of scientists monitored salt concentrations in the habitats of two freshwater snail populations located nearby and recorded the data as follows (in ppt, parts per thousand): Population 1 (Day 1): 0.1 ppt (morning), 0.0 ppt (afternoon), 0.1 ppt (evening) Population 2 (Day 1): 0.3 ppt (morning), 0.5 ppt (afternoon), 0.2 ppt (evening) In 3–5 sentences, 1) describe how these results show why the brackish water adaptation may be necessary, and 2) explain how to determine whether the inherited adaptation is influenced by environmental factors.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are true? Select the best overall answer. a. Kenward et al. reported that for each paired bird with eggs, there were three floaters in a European population of Common Buzzards b. in Complete Migration, there is predictable, seasonal movement of individuals between a breeding range and a non-breeding range (and back again) with no geographic overlap of these two ranges. The Broad-winged Hawk is an example of a species that exhibits Complete Migration. c. A paper by Bednarz et al. published in 1990, demonstrated with observational tallies of migrating raptor species that populations declined in migratory counts during the DDT era. d. all of the above e. only b and c
