Question 16 Select all answer(s) that apply: In colonial times the passenger pigeon population of the U.S. numbered in the millions. By 1878 the population numbered approximately 2000 birds. Which of the following statements is true? O Because of a large number of remaining pigeons its population were able to rebound and avoid extinction and population bottlenecks when hunting pressure was reduced It went extinct in a period of only 34 years despite decreased hunting pressure because even this large number was below that needed to maintain a viable population. Market hunting of passenger pigeons continued unabated until the species went extinct in 1914. Positive density dependence likely contributed to the extinction of the passenger pigeon. O Negative density dependence likely contributed to the extinction of the passenger pigeon.
