Textbook Question
Chapter 40.4, Problem 2CC
Imagine that you are constructing a life table for a different population of Belding’s ground squirrels (see Table 40.1). If 485 individuals are alive at the start of year 0-1 and 218 are still alive at the start of year 1-2, what is the proportion alive at the start of each of these years (see column 3 in Table 40.1)?

The northern hairy-nosed wombat has experienced historical population declines, though population
have stabilized recently due to conservation efforts. While studying them researchers noticed the
following fluctuations in (effective) population size:
Year 1: 100 individuals
Year 2: 90 individuals
Year 3: 50 individuals
Year 4: 75 individuals
Year 5: 90 individuals
Year 6: 95 individuals
A. Given this information what is the long-term effective population size of this particular
population over the six years?
B. Assume that at the start of the study the researchers determined heterozygosity for this
population to be 0.63 at microsatellite loci. What would you expect the heterozygosity to be at
the end of the six years?
(Answer part B)
For the following question, assume that the population that you are observing is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (not evolving).
If a population starts out with 7 Black Moths, 8 Grey Moths, and 30 White Moths,
How many grey moths to you expect in the next generation if the population is 45? [grey]

Consider a metapopulation of iguanas inhabiting a chain of small islands off the coast of South America. In year 1, there are iguanas on 15 of the 60 islands. The probability of a given empty island being colonized in a given year is 0.11, and the probability of the population going extinct on any particular occupied island in a given year is 0.12.
In year 1, what will be the rate of change in the proportion of islands occupied by iguanas, based on the Levins metapopulation model?
Determine the number of islands that should be occupied when the metapopulation reaches equilibrium.
Should this metapopulation go extinct, or should it persist? How do you know?
