Summary Introduction
To describe:
How MVP helps in habitat fragmentation.
Introduction:
Habitat fragmentation occurs due to human activities when species lose their habitat which results in species extinction.
MVP stands for the minimum viable population; the smallest isolated population that has the ability to survive for a longer period of time is called minimum viable population. By MVP an individual can save species which are going through habitat fragmentation.
To provide MVP to animals an individual should analyze the data: like the distribution of a variable, serial correlation, and cross-correlation.

- Part B-Interactions in the ecosystems Throughout this unit we have been examining how an organism Interacts with the living and non-living elements in an ecosystem. We Fve discussed and investigated predator/prey relationships as well as Tood chains and webs, Now it is time to put that knowledge into practice and explore some of the interactions between different components in your ecosystem apply it. Your Goal: Using the model ecosystem you have just created, you will generate one food chain/web. Method 1. Using your model, show 1 food web that contains at least 8 elements. You must include a producer, consumer and a secondary consumer. They must be realistic feeding relationships! (You may need to add an element to your ecosystem model). Remember, a food web contains many food chains; make sure your consumers have a variety of food to eat. a primary Önly for the elements in your food web - add to their labels whether it is a producer or consumer. Each consumer must be labelled as a…arrow_forwardWIII save this response. Question 10 Which correctly describes the atmospheric cycle of CO2 concentrations in various places in the world? O the global CO2 concentration remain stable throughout the year the CO2 concentration in the southern and northern hemisphere cycle at the same time of the year O the CO2 concentration has larger annual fluctuations in the southern hemisphere because of the larger ocean area O the CO, concentration has larger annual fluctuations in the northern hemisphere because of the larger land area A Moving to another question will save this response.arrow_forwardESTIMATING POPULATION SIZE USING THE LINCOLN INDEX 1. A biologist wants to estimate the size of a population of turtles on an island. He captures 20 turtles on his first visit, and marks their backs with red paint. Two weeks later he returns to the island and captures 25 turtles. Five of these 25 turtles have red paint on their backs. Using the Lincoln index equation, calculate the estimated population 2. Overfishing in Antarctica has resulted in a steep decline in Patagonian toothfish. Fishery scientists are monitoring the population size to see if it is recovering by using the mark-release-recapture method and the Lincoln index equation. On their initial visit, the scientists caught and marked 100 specimens. When they returned on a second visit, they captured a total of 70 Patagonian toothfish. If the scientists estimated the population size was 700, how many of the recaptured toothfish were marked? Show all working.arrow_forward
