A population of rodents establishes itself in a habitat that has previously been colonized by its same species. Soon after, the construction of an engineering work causes habitat degradation, which causes the total population to slow down. As time passes, the degradation is greater.a) Formulate mathematically the variation of the population size N of the rodent population at time t, first for the situation described without engineering work and then for the scenario with engineering work. Define the necessary parameters for your model. b) Indicate the equilibrium values of the population N.c) By what time should the population be extinct?

- What can you infer about bats compared to other mammals? What do you conclude about the effect of hibernation on survival? What do you conclude about the effect of body mass on survival?arrow_forwardSuppose you are a researcher studying a population of beach mice living in the coastal dunes of Florida. You notice that, although there is some variation in coat color, most of the mice have fairly light fur, which appears to help them blend into the sandy dunes. 1) After several experiments, you are able to determine that mice with extremely light or very dark coat colors are more easily detected by predators and you conclude that mice with those coat colors normally have lower fitness. 2) You are given permission to try to establish a new colony of beach mice at a nearby, protected beach. You are able to capture 15 mice and transfer them to the protected beach. However, by chance, the mice you captured have a higher proportion of dark colored coats than the original population did. 3) The dunes on the new beach are a darker color than the original beach, which allows the dark mice to survive better than the light-colored mice. After a few years, you are able to determine that your…arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion 13.
