The trumpeter finch is a bird in the least concern category. What does this mean?         The trumpeter finch is abundant.         The trumpeter finch is extinct.          The trumpeter finch has not been evaluated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).         There is no data on the trumpeter finch to determine the number of individuals.

Bob Davison describes the Endangered Species Act (ESA) as an effective tool for conserving biological diversity. What is his rationale for the value of focusing on individual species? The public is not concerned about the economic costs of individual species recovery. A focus on individual species is cheaper than protecting entire ecosystems. Establishing public empathy for charismatic species provides an opportunity to educate people about lesser-known species. The public tends to value intact ecosystems over particular plant and animal species.

There is a non-harmful species of fly that has a body coloration pattern that is similar to bees and wasps, the latter two of which have a stinger for self defence, while the fly has no stinger. For the fly's colour patterns to help it trick potential predators and therefore avoid being eaten by predators, how common should the fly be in nature relative to the bees and wasps in an area where all these species overlap?   Question 1 options:   50% of the total abundance of these groups   Rare   The abundance of bees and wasps doesn't matter   Very common

Which one of these statements about COSEWIC is false?     COSEWIC's assessments take into account political, social and economic factors.   The Species at Risk Act (2002) established COSEWIC as an advisory body.   The committee made its first designation in April 1978 and has met annually since then.   Members of COSEWIC are wildlife biology experts from academia, government, non-governmental organizations and the private sector responsible for designating wildlife species in danger of disappearing from Canada.

Conservationists will take snow geese off the endangered species list when the population hits 10,000. If populations are growing continuously and exponentially with a constant r of 0.088 geese per goose per year, and the population in 2001 is 3000 individuals, in what year will snow geese be taken off the endangered species list? between 2106 and 2109 between 2009 and 2012 between 2012 and 2015 O between 2015 and 2018

Agricultural practices can pose a challenge to survival of native species    Question 3 options:   True   False

Threatened or Endangered: At least a few individuals are still present

Figure 19.6 If the major food source of seals declines due to pollution or overfishing, which of the following would likely occur? a. The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, as would the seal population. b. The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, but the seal population would remain the same. c. The number of seal deaths would increase, but the number of births would also increase, so the population size would remain the same. d. The carrying capacity of seals would remain the same, but the population of seals would decrease.
