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?
Also, what formula do I use to solve this problem? Thank You!
On 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?

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.
