Summary Introduction

To determine:

The two species that have been listed as endangered: one that has recovered to the extent that it has been “delisted” and one that has remained on the list for more than 20 years.

Introduction:

The endangered species are those species whose numbers are getting low. To prevent the extinction of those species, the Endangered Species Act was formed.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The characteristics of two species and their environment have significantly contributed to their differing fates.

Introduction:

A biologist determines the growth rate of a population of 198 frogs in a marsh near Beaverhill Lake, Alberta, to evaluate the quality of the environment. The researcher finds that, in one year, 34 were born, 86 died, 12 migrated into the marsh, and there was no emigration. a. frogs are considered an indicator species for the quality of the environment. Determine whether the growth rate of this population in one year is a cause for concern. if so, what might the concerns be?
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.
What do restocking programs for wild animals involve? Pick the correct following statement number:   1. Releasing individuals into an existing population to increase the size of the population and the diversity of its gene pool   2. Releasing wild-collected individuals into a new site   3. Releasing captive-bred individuals into a new site   4. Releasing captive-bred or wild-collected individuals into an ecologically suitable site within their historical ranges where the species no longer occurs
