Question
Chapter 58, Problem 4DA
Summary Introduction
To determine: The explanation whether the given graph provides the knowledge about the timing of increased hunting of the species other than the two heavily hunted species.
Introduction: The whalers hunted whales on a large scale so that they can get good market prices by selling their organs, oils, scales, and bones. The overhunting of whales made diversity reduced to a very low degree. Whales were hunted until the diversity of whales did not reach to the least number.

- Since 2000, three mammal species have been declared extinct by the IUCN: the Bramble Cay melomys (Melomys rubicola), Christmas Island pipistrelle (Pipistrellus murrayi) and the Saudi gazelle (Gazella saudiya). What is the extinction rate of mammals, in MSY, since 2000 (+/-0.01)? Assume for our purposes that 5,436 mammals have been monitored over the past 20 years.arrow_forwardPronghorns look very similar to antelopes and are considered the fastest mammal in North America. They can be found in the Southeastern parts of Alberta. In the 1800s, it is thought that the population of pronghorns reach 35 million in the Prairies. By 1924, only 20,000 pronghorns could be found in Alberta. In 1996, only 9,600 remained. What is the per capita growth rate of pronghorns in Alberta between 1924 and 1996? Express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places. If the population is decreasing indicate this with a negative sign. Answerarrow_forwardCompare the advantages and disadvantages to a species that result from exponential or logistic growth. Why do you think hares have evolved to reproduce as rapidly as possible, while lynx appear to have intrinsic or social growth limits?arrow_forward
- If the human species were to suffer a population crash, list three species that might move in to occupy part of our ecological niche. List and explain three species that would likely decline as a result.arrow_forwardNew Zealand snapper populations were found to be under the influence of genetic drift, suggesting overfishing was still an issue for them, despite the New Zealand fisheries estimating their total population size to be over 3 million. Which of the following is the best explanation for this observation? A) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often only have a few reproductive individuals, therefore their effective population size is actually much smaller than the total population size. B) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have an equal sex ratio which affects the number of breeding individuals. C) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have disassortative mating which affects the number of breeding individuals. D) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have assortative mating which affects the number of breeding individuals.arrow_forwardYou are watching a documentary on television about grizzly bears in North America. The narrator is speaking over a clip of two cubs and their mother walking along a riverbank in a heavily wooded forest. She says that grizzly bear populations are rising for the first time in several decades even though deforestation is still a growing problem in North America. Which of the following could be a possible factor for the increase in the grizzly population? Loss of habitat Reduction of resources Increased industrialization Higher birth rate over death ratearrow_forward

- Tigers are solitary animals that require vast amounts of forest landscape as their territory to roam. In order to protect one tiger, we must conserve around 25,000 acres of forest. With poaching and deforestation threatening their survival, what are possible solutions to bring tiger populations back from the brink of extinction?arrow_forwardEastern loggerhead shrike is a critically endangered species of bird in Canada. Its population has been declining since the 1960s, and it has been speculated that habitat loss, pesticide usage combined, and climate change have affected the shrike population size. In 2004, there were approximately 70 loggerhead shrikes breeding in Canada. Over the next five years, 111 new shrikes were born, 57 died, and 15 left the area. Calculate the change in the population of eastern loggerhead shrike between 2004 and 2009. Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number. Answerarrow_forwardCalifornia condors, large, predatory birds that were previously on the edge of extinction, have benefited from a program that raises birds in captivity and then releases them into the wild. The reintroduction program, however, is having variable success.Which of the following would have been a surprise to wildlife biologists who, after successfully breeding and raising condors, were reintroducing the condors to the wild following a precipitous decline in their number in the 1970s? (In 1982 there were only 19 condors in the wild.) Group of answer choices: Reintroduced condors laid the same number of eggs as condor pairs in captivity. Only some of the released condors fed on marine mammals; others fed on carcasses of animals as different as wolves and cows. Twelve of 19 nests had no hatchlings, and nests of the coastal population had shell fragments 34% thinner than those of condor populations more inland. Sea otter and sea lion populations declined in areas where the…arrow_forward
