Practice Problems: 1. You have been tasked to estimate the number of rattlesnakes using a series of hibernacula along a ridge in western Texas. To accomplish your assigned task, you capture 37 rattlesnakes and mark them with PIT tags. You return to the site one week later and resample the population by capturing 52 rattlesnakes. Of the 52, 30 are marked from your first sample. How many rattlesnakes are in the population? 2. Use the number calculated in the previous problem to populate the following table for the rattlesnake population estimate for 2018. Then use all values in the table to calculate lambda for each consecutive two-year period. Year Population Estimate 2017 70 2018 2019 75 2020 68 2021 82 Estimated lambda (^)

How can success be measured on a marternal mortality rates
I need help include more background information that connects directly to the experimental variables, as well as the themes discussed in the Lab 5 PowerPoint (seen in image). Also connecting your experiment to broader ecological impacts of understanding temperature preferences. I been having a hard time find infomation.

A population ecologist spent 4-years working on a bird species of concern that breeds in grasslands in Montana. Her goal was to evaluate the status of the population in small fragments of habitat. Most of the fragments were small (< 10 ha) but she had a large 250 ha fragment that was the core study site. She recorded an adult annual survival (SA) of 0.54 and an annual fecundity (F) of 5.28 young/yr (this includes both male and female offspring). The average juvenile survival rate (SJ; to their first year) was 0.22. What is the growth rate of this population? Group of answer choices 0.88 1.70 1.04 1.12

Question:- Please describe advantages and disadvantages of Principle Components Analysis (PCA) method in controlling population stratification.
What are some limitations or potential problems with each of the following methods of estimating population size? Quadrat/random sampling: Mark and recapture:
Question 1. Is the population in H-W equilibrium? Observed genotype frequencies ● ■ ● f[A₁A₁] =0.16 f[A₁A₂] =0.48 f[A₂A₂] =0.36 O Question 2. Is the population in H-W equilibrium? Observed genotype frequencies f[A₁A₁] =0.04 f[A₁A₂] =0.12 ● f[A₂A₂] =0.84 ● Question 3. Is the population in H-W equilibrium? Observed genotype numbers A₁A₁ =40 A1A2 =20 ● A₂A2 =40 O Question 4: Is the population in H-W equilibrium? Observed number of each genotype A1A1=36 ● ● A1A2=28 A2A2=36 Note that raw numbers are given. The question is whether observed frequencies = expected frequencies. You must first compute the genotype frequencies.

QUESTION 2: Population size One weekend in early July, a total of 154 Marbled White butterflies were captured and marked before being released. The following weekend, the butterfly traps captured another 87 butterflies, but only one was marked. a) Based on these data, estimate the butterfly population size (show your workings in full). b) Estimate the population size if, instead of one, the number of marked butterflies was: i) 2 ii) 10 iii) 25 You do not need to show your workings for this part. c) Would all of these results give equally accurate estimates of population size? Explain your reasoning. d) The following year, the researcher returned to the same spot, on the same July weekend in order to evaluate whether the butterfly population size was similar year-on-year. This time, however, the recapture phase occurred only three days after marking. Do you think this would affect the accuracy? Explain your answer fully.
