The dependency of the species recovery on the integration of institutional authority, ecological information, and socioeconomic interests by using an example of California condor. Introduction: The California condor is a vulture species, which is the largest bird species of North America. They decreased in number after the ingestion of animal carcasses that consists of lead. The captive breeding program launched in 1983, stabilized their number to the normal.

Compare and contrast species scale vs. system scale goals for conserving both mutualist biodiversity and mutualist ecosystem function. Give a real world example in which one of these approaches is used for mutualism conservation and explain its strengths and weaknesses with respect to conserving mutualism.

Mark Recapture can be written as M N = R Define each term. Use this equation to answer the following question. Show your work. A biologist for Mosaic fertilizer company catches 26 Florida scrub jays as part of their monthly environmental monitoring. Each bird is given a band. The next month, they catch 32 birds. 13 of the birds have bands. What is the estimated population size of the birds in that area?

Match the approach to protection with the example from the academic literature. Species approach Hotspot approach Ecosystem approach 1. Wolf reintroductions into the Yellowstone environment restored riparian species and increased biodiversity because wolves controlled the numbers of elk and coyotes which allowed plants, beaver, and foxes to rebound (Ripple and Beschta 2003). 2. The creation of a reserve protects the red-brown treecreeper (Climacteris picumnus). This approach looks to accommodate processes that threaten species viability, such as fragmentation and feral predators (Nicholson et al. 2013). 3. Species richness of tiger beetles, Cicindelidae, is positively correlated with bird and butterfly diversity across North America, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent (Reid, 1998).
