You visit a medium-sized Caribbean island and identify 4 species of anole lizard. Consider the 3 possible scenarios below. You return to the island a number of years after each of these scenarios. Explain which outcome below (i to iii) you expect for each scenario and briefly justify your prediction. 3-4 sentences for each scenario.
(i) An increase in the number of anole species
(ii) A decrease in the number of anole species
(iii) No change in the number of anole species
A) Scenario A: Scenario A: A new virus is introduced, which causes all the anoles to become colour blind.
B) Scenario B: An earthquake separates the island into two islands.
C) Scenario C: An invasive herbivorous insect species is introduced to the island, which devastates many plant species and causes the habitat to become much less complex.

Since they cannot see all 325 at once, they will estimate it using mark-recapture methods. They initially capture 64 individuals, mark them, and release them. They then recapture 50. What is the most likely number of MARKED birds in their recapture sample? (You may need to round up or down for the correct answer.)

- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A group of evolutionary biologists measure population structure in migratory birds and non migratory birds. In one species they estimate Fst as 0.71, and in the other they measure Fst as 0.05. Which species is the migratory species? A. the species with higher population structure B. The species low population structure C. Neither because migration would result in negative values D. You cannot tell because migration is dispersal not gene flow.arrow_forwardClick to see additional instructions The ecology lab did a mark-recapture study on grasshoppers in a field at Possum Creek MetroPark.

This image shows a male mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), which is native to western North America. Named for their large ears, mule deer are hunted for sport and food under strict management practices, such as designated hunting seasons and limits on how many deer a hunter can take. A) In a short paragraph, propose a hypothesis to test the effect of a zoned reserve on mule deer populations. Justify your hypothesis based on your knowledge of zoned reserves. B) In 1-2 short paragraphs, outline a field experiment to test your hypothesis on the effect of a zoned reserve on mule deer populations. Describe your control group, experimental group, and the data you would collect. Identify at least two environmental factors that could affect your data collection and how you would address them, if possible.arrow_forward
