Question
Chapter 53.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To construct: A life table for various populations of the Belding's ground squirrels.
Concept introduction: Demography: is referred as the study of a population's vital statistics like the migration rates, death and birth rates. It is also responsible for studying the changes with respect to time that occurs in the vital statistics. Therefore, for summarizing the information (demographic) life table is important to be made.

WHAT IF? Suppose you were studying a species thathas a population cycle of about ten years. How longwould you need to study the species to determine if itspopulation size were declining? Explain.
WHAT IF? Suppose two bird species live in a forestand are not known to interbreed. One species feeds andmates in the treetops and the other on the ground. Butin captivity, the birds can interbreed and produce viable,fertile offspring. What type of reproductive barrier mostlikely keeps these species separate in nature? Explain.
Population ecology:
Do environmental stochasticity and demographic stochasticity impact small populations or large populations more?
Please explain why.

- Scenario 2In the year 2015, another group of scientists studied the squirrel coat color and found that the population of squirrels had increased. They found 850 squirrels in the same area, of which 115 had a red coat. Assume that the population is in Hardy Weinberg’s equilibrium. 4B.

- Q8 -You sample 1000 lizards in a very large population. Every individual you have sampled is brown. You conclude that all lizards in this population are brown. This is deductive reasoning.true or false? -Suppose all sex-changing fish are from coral reef habitats. You discover a wild-caught sex-changing fish in a fish store. You conclude that this fish was harvested from a coral reef. This is inductive reasoning. true or false? -Populations that live in areas with high ecological mortality reproduce at younger ages than similar species living in areas with low ecological mortality. You decide to run an experiment comparing two populations. The environment of population 1 has many predators, parasites, and pathogens; the environment of population 2 is free of predators, etc. You predict that population 1 will reproduce at a younger age than population 2.
