Question: Competition is an interaction in which one population is the food source for another. True or False?
a) Indicate the type of growth and the type of reproductive strategy that each population presents individually.b) Indicate the type of ecological interaction that exists between both populations. Support your answer mathematically.
Previous question: (Assume that for a given population of moose, the per-capita birth rate remains constant with population size. However, as the moose population size increases there is a linear increase in the probability of starvation and subsequent mortality due to intraspecific competition.) Assume that the population (from the previous question) does not experience competition from other species, nor predation. Write out the equation that would best be used to describe the change in population growth from one time interval to another.
Based on the data given, why did the population of fish grow constantly until 2004?
Given the above data, were the methods successful? Explain why did the population decline after 1925? What type of growth pattern did the deer population exhibit?
Which statement best describes the recovery of the Mexican wolf population? A. It is experiencing logistic growth because the rate of population growth increases without slowing. B. It is experiencing logistic growth because the rate of population growth increases but slows with time. C. It is experiencing exponential growth because the rate of population growth increases without slowing. D. It is experiencing exponential growth because the rate of population growth increases but slows with time.

Question:- How do you predict that an increase in emigration will change the shape of this population's age structure? Use the simulation to test your prediction before committing to one of the four options. a.The overall size of the curve will increase in the same proportion at every age. b.The overall size of the curve will decrease in the same proportion at every age. c.The size of the curve will increase at every age, but with the greatest change at the older ages. d.The size of the curve will primarily in the range of ages from 20 to 40.
Using the life table: a) what is R0 for this population? b) Based on R0 from your previous answer, is this population :growing, stable or declining? c) what is the most likely survivorship curve for this population? type 1, 2, or 3?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Scientists are trying to estimate the size of a bird species whose local population is 325. Since they cannot see all 325 at once, they will estimate it using mark-recapture methods. They initially capture 64 individuals, mark them, and release them. They then recapture 50. What is the most likely number of MARKED birds in their recapture sample? (You may need to round up or down for the correct answer.) Multiple Choice -50 -1 -10 -5 -0 -253
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A group of evolutionary biologists measure population structure in migratory birds and non migratory birds. In one species they estimate Fst as 0.71, and in the other they measure Fst as 0.05. Which species is the migratory species? A. the species with higher population structure B. The species low population structure C. Neither because migration would result in negative values D. You cannot tell because migration is dispersal not gene flow.
Question: The island equilibrium model predicts that an island near to other land masses will be able to support ______ species than an island that is far from other land masses because the rate of _________ will be higher due to ___________. A- Fewer; extinction; increased competition B- More; extinction; easier dispersal C- More; immigration; easier dispersal D- Fewer; immigration; reduced competition E- Fewer; immigration; harder dispersal
