Is the wolf population controlled by density or density-independent factors? Explain using one piece of information from the reading to support your choice. You should use those supports to back up your choice, that is, how did this piece of support lead you to your answer.
To measure the population of lake trout in a 250-hectare lake, 100 individuals were netted and marked with a fin clip, and then returned to the lake. The next week, the lake is netted again, and out of the 300 lake trout that are caught, 15 have fin clips. Using the capture-recapture estimate, the lake trout population size could be closest to?

- You want to estimate the population size of pink salmon in the upper pitt river and use a mark-recapture technique to do so. You mark 1313 individuals as they pass under the port mann bridge. two weeks later you recapture 2245 individuals in pitt lake of which 204 have marks on them. What is your estimate of the population size?arrow_forwardOn the mystical island of Lumina, researchers discover the elusive Glowfinch, a bird with radiant feathers that glow in the dark. During a mark-recapture study, 50 Glowfinches are marked with luminescent bands and released. In the second capture, 100 Glowfinches are caught, and 20 of them are found to still shimmer brightly. What is the estimated population size (N) of Glowfinches on Lumina? 0160 250 500 130 O100 200 13arrow_forwardYou are evaluating multiple populations of the Karner Blue Butterfly. Below is the pairwise FST Values for the 3 populations you sampled. Given what you know about FsT and your results make a recommendation to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation about how to manage the populations. Population 1 Population 2 Population 3 Population 1 Population 2 Population 3 0.05 0.67 0.46 (Hint: The measurement of gene flow (FSt) between population 1 and population 2 is 0.05) O a. The results suggest that each population is quite different from the other, such that each population should be managed as a distinct and unique population. O b. Populations 1 and 2 are completely isolated from each other and should be managed separately even though they are both more similar to population 3. O c. There is evidence of gene flow between populations 1 and 2, and they should be managed as a single population while population 3 is unique. O d. There is no evidence of differentiation between all…arrow_forward
