In the 1970s, the Black Forest of Germany experienced a period when the number of trees dying in the forest increased substantially in a relatively short period of time. In addition, fish began to die in some of the lakes in the region. What could have caused these deaths to occur simultaneously in two very different habitats?

Consider two bird species that forage for insects that live in shrubs. The shrubs have a clumped, patchy distribution throughout their habitat. The two bird species have the same ability to locate, capture, and consume the insects. However, one species (species A) uses less energy to fly from patch to patch than the other species (species B). According to the marginal value theorem, which bird species should spend more time in each patch, and why?

Bighorn sheep are an iconic species in the western United States, however, their population size is drastically lower than it once was historically. These sheep inhabit montane patches surrounded by urban and agricultural landscapes. Accordingly, bighorn sheep can be considered a metapopulation. Wildlife managers would like to increase the patch occupancy of bighorn sheep. Which of the following would be the most effective conservation/restoration strategy?
None of these statements is an effective conservation strategy.
Increase patch size and quality, and decrease the distance between patches.
Increase patch size and the distance between patches, and decrease patch quality.
Increase the distance between patches and patchy quality, and decrease patch size.
Decrease patch size, distance between patches, and patch quality.
