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.

- Pronghorns 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.

- Assume that for a given population of moose, the per-capita birth rate remains constant with population size. However, as the moose population size increases there is a linear increase in the probability of starvation and subsequent mortality due to intraspecific competition. a) On a single graph, draw the relationship between moose density and the per capita birth and death rates for this population. b) Assume that the population does not experience competition from other species, nor predation. Write out the equation that would best be used to describe the change in population growth from one time interval to another.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_forwardCompare the survival and reproduction strategies of altricial species and precocial species.
