They are strict carnivores. Their diet consists mostly of deer, wild hogs, and livestock. Floridapanthers need a large habitat in order to successfully hunt, reproduce, and raise their young.During the last century, the Florida panther population has experienced habitat fragmentation due to the construction of roads, urbanization, mining, and agriculture. This fragmentation has led toan increase in inbreeding within their population. Inbreeding occurs when closely-related animals mate and produce offspring. Inbred animals have a higher risk of inheriting genetic diseases,which often reduces their survival or ability to reproduce.To conserve the population of Florida panthers, a team of scientists introduced eight Texas panthers to Florida in 1996. Texas panthers are a closely related subspecies of cougars. After the Texaspanthers were introduced, the scientists tracked the populations of pure Florida panthers and hybrid panthers produced from Florida and Texas panther crosses. The pie charts show the changesin the Florida panther population between 1995 and 2007.Panther Population in Florida1995Population size = 26(%) dans100:>>> II Pause80100%6040The graph shows the percent survival by age for the pure Florida panthers and hybrid panthers in the Florida area.Survival of Panthers200Q Zoom2pure Florida panthershybrid panthers42007Population size = 102C2022 Illuminate Education, Inc.62%6Age (yr)pure Florida panthers38%810My Questions | bartlebWhich factor linOA the incOBOthe decreOc the carniveD. the native sp

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.
