Question
During the past 15 years, white-tailed deer populations in Canada have significantly affected woody plants in forest ecosystems. (a) To estimate white-tailed deer populations in four tracts of the Carolinian forest in southern Ontario, 185 white-tailed deer were captured and tagged with bands. After three weeks, 147 deer were recaptured and 26 had bands. Estimate the population size and show your calculations. (b) To further understand the impact of the deer populations on the woody plants, you decide to study the number of birch trees in an area 100 ha x 100 ha. Using a quadrate measuring 2 ha x 2 ha, you obtain the following results from four random counts: 16, 32, 27, and 11. Calculate the average population density and estimate the total population size of birch trees in the area. (c) Justify the decision to use the mark-recapture method for estimating the deer population size and the quadrat sampling method for the birch tree population.
