WHAT IF? In 2005, at least ten grizzly bears in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem were killed through contact with people. Most of these deaths resulted from three things: collisions with automobiles, hunters (of other animals) shooting when charged by a female grizzly bear with cubs nearby, and conservation managers killing bears that attacked livestock repeatedly. If you were a conservation manager, what steps might you take to minimize such encounters in Yellowstone?

- Conservation Biology Quiz 2 4. Predator- predator inter a prey h Conservation Biology Quiz 2 2. Community - Competition. Competition between species on the same trophic tier leads to four potential outcomes, 3 are deterministic (zero sum games where one species goes extinct and the other maximizes their growth to balance at the carrying capacity) and one where both competitors survive, but neither does well. a. This dynamic suggests that extirpation (local extinction) of populations is a far more likely outcome than co-existence. How, in your opinion, does this affect management policies aimed at increasing biodiversity and proliferation of inter and intra population and interspecies variation. Reason your point of view. (5 points) b. Endangered species are defined by low growth rates (r) and low K (reflecting high demand for resources). What are the implications of both these factors on the outcome of competition scenarios, especially the most common scenario of alternate stable…arrow_forwardWhich one of these statements about COSEWIC is false? COSEWIC's assessments take into account political, social and economic factors. The Species at Risk Act (2002) established COSEWIC as an advisory body. The committee made its first designation in April 1978 and has met annually since then. Members of COSEWIC are wildlife biology experts from academia, government, non-governmental organizations and the private sector responsible for designating wildlife species in danger of disappearing from Canada.arrow_forwardFor a conservation biologist interested in sustaining populations of the organisms below, why would it be helpful to take a landscape ecology perspective? Explain your answer in each case. • A forest-breeding warbler that suffers poor nesting success in small, fragmented forest patches • A bighorn sheep that must move seasonally between mountains and lowlands • A toad that lives in upland areas but travels crosscountry to breed in localized pools each springarrow_forward

The decline or extinction of a single species can also change the composition of other species within a habitat, including a shift in species dominance or decrease in the survival ability of the remaining species. Other problems can occur when overexploitation leads to a drop in nearby populations. For instance, when overfishing of one species leads to a decline in by-catch or drives the market to overexploit another, previously unexploited, species. The most overexploited groups of species are marine fish and invertebrates (which are fished for food), a variety of trees, animals hunted for meat, and plants and animals harvested for medicinal use and trading. Rarity can help drive up the price for…arrow_forward

Protect and advance the right of the people to a balanced and healthful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature; Promote and protect the global environment while recognizing the primary responsibility of local government units to deal with environmental problems; Recognize that the responsibility of cleaning the habitat and environment is primarily area-based; Recognize that "polluters must pay"; Recognize that a clean and healthy environment is for the good of all and should therefore be the concern of all.arrow_forwardWhich of the following best predicts the consequences of introducing small Indian mongoose to an island where they did not previously exist?( Invasive species) (Choice A) A The mongoose population will grow rapidly, disrupting the island's community structure by preying on native animals. (Choice B) B The mongoose population size will likely remain smal, and as a result the mongoose population will not be able to outcompete other predator populations for resources. (Choice C) Without any natural diseases, the mongoose population will become established and help increase the species diversity of the island. (Choice D) D Without its typical food sources, the mongoose population will not be able to become established, and the island ecosystem will remain stable. answer explainarrow_forward
