Chapter 31.4, Problem 1CSC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
How MVP helps in habitat fragmentation.
Introduction:
Habitat fragmentation occurs due to human activities when species lose their habitat which results in species extinction.
MVP stands for the minimum viable population; the smallest isolated population that has the ability to survive for a longer period of time is called minimum viable population. By MVP an individual can save species which are going through habitat fragmentation.
To provide MVP to animals an individual should analyze the data: like the distribution of a variable, serial correlation, and cross-correlation.

Use this image to help you answer the questions below a) Why are so few apex predators supported in this food chain compared to the number of producers or primary consumers? b) If someone accidently introduced a poison like DDT into this food chain what type of effects would you expect to see to happen to animals higher in the food chain over animals that are on the lower end of the food chain? c) Wolves although at the top of the food chain, are important in controlling this entire system. What type of species is that called and why are they so important?arrow_forwardAn estimated 1000 kg of plant plankton are needed to produce 100 kg of animal plankton. The animal plankton is in turned consumed by 10 kg of fish, the amount needed by a person to gain 1 kg of body mass. i) explain why the amount of biomass declines at each successive trophic level.arrow_forwardFigure 45.10b If the major food source of the seals declines due to pollution or overfishing, which of the following would likely occur? The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, as would the seal population. The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, but the seal population would remain the same. The number of seal deaths would increase but the number of births would also increase, so the population size would remain the same. The carrying capacity of seals would remain the same, but the population of seals would decrease.arrow_forward
