In a field experiment an ecologist traps 30 mice. She marks all 30 mice and releases them back into her study site. A week later she returns and traps 40 mice. Ten of the 40 mice have been marked representing mice that were captured a second time. What is her objective? To collect data for constructing a mouse survivorship curve. O To estimate the mouse population density using the quadrate method. O To determine if mice who have been previously trapped will avoid being trapped a second time. To estimate the mouse population size using the mark and recapture method.

Marine Evolution

Marine habitat is less explored, and hence, its biological diversity is far less known. The marine habitats are not constant due to their shifting nature, while the terrestrial habitats are more stable. Marine biology is the science that deals with the study of diverse marine species, their interactions, and behavioral characteristics.
