In 1956, two Corsican mouflon sheep were introduced to Haute Island, which has an area of 7.00 km^2. In 1957, the pair were able to reproduce for the first time. By 1977, the population had grown to 600 sheep due to abundant food sources and the lack of natural predators in the area. Since then, the Haute Island sheep population has fluctuated between 200 sheep and 600 sheep. In 1990, 250 mouflon sheep were relocated from Haute Island to a neighbouring island with similar terrain, soil, vegetation and weather patterns. The neighbouring island has an area of 10.0 km^2. 1. Compare the density of the Corsican mouflon sheep population on Haute Island in 1977 with the neighboring island in 1990. (three sig digits) 2. Explain how the growth of the Corsican mouflon sheep population on Haute Island caused interspecific competition ? 3. What prevented the Haute Island sheep population from increasing beyond 600 sheep? 4. What was the growth rate of the Corsican mouflon sheep population on…

Researchers discover two populations of monkey flower (Erythranthe) in Yellowstone National Park. One population is found near geysers and thrives near the hot water. The other population is found in the dry slopes of the mountains nearby. Both populations appear physically similar. Based solely on their observations, the researchers make an initial hypothesis that the two populations of Erythranthe are actually two separate species. This is an example of using the ____ species concept (choose the BEST answer). biological morphological ecological phylogenetic
