Blunt-nosed leopard lizards (Gambelia sila) are an endangered species that only occurs in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. Because of habitat conversion for agriculture and ranching, these lizards now only persist in the small patches of native scrub habitat that remain, primarily in the foothills on the west side of the valley. These small patches have some gene flow between them, meaning that the species is now largely represented by one- or two- large metapopulations. Imagine that you are working with the northern blunt nosed leopard lizard metapopulation, and discover that the colonization rate (c) is 0.3. The extinction rate (e) was 0.2 throughout the second half of the 20th century, but has now changed to 0.4. Using your knowledge of the Metapopulation Model, answer the following questions: During the second half of the 20th century, the metapopulation was predicted to [ Select ] * with an equilibrium patch occupancy of [ Select ] Now, the metapopulation is predicted to [Select ] with an equilibrium patch occupancy of [Select ]

One male b. Monogamy c. Multiple male d. Polyandry e. Solitary 2. Processes such as random genetic drift and founder effect can dramatically transform the genetic structure of a human group within relatively short periods of time because they can significantly reduce the effective breeding population so that the frequencies of certain genes are amplified. a.True b.False

Females spent more time foraging (measured as hours spent daily in flight) than did males. Brood size decreased with date (i.e., late season broods were smaller than early season broods).
