Chapter 56.2, Problem 3EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way by which Murie’s data and Deevey’s analysis affect the decision of the Park Service concerning the control of the wolf population.
Introduction: The Dall mountain sheep lives in mountainous habitat which includes sub-artic and arctic regions of Alaska. In the late 1930s, a sharp decline in the population of the Dall mountain sheep was observed by U.S National Park Service. Some people thought that increased wolf predation was the reason for the decline in the population of sheep

- Question:- The speckled warbler is a small, declining, woodland bird that is restricted to intact forest and woodland areas Speckled warblers are sensitive to fragmentation and declining patch size.
