se the following information to answer the next question. The whooping crane is on Canada’s Endangered Species list and is protected in some national parks. A report was to be submitted regarding the change in the population size of the cranes under controlled conditions. Five cranes from that population emigrated to the neighboring parks and 60 cranes immigrated into the population. There were 20 births in the population. At the end of the study period, the population had increased by 75. The number of deaths that took place in the population of cranes was?

The next week, they caught 92 individuals, 11 of which had been previously marked. Which of the following is the best estimate of crayfish population size in the stretch of stream sampled?

Sea urchins, in turn, feed on kelp. A study was conducted to determine the effect that Enhydra lutris has on kelp biodiversity. To do so, three O Conferences DBQ Online bays that have had sea otter populations for varying amounts of time were I Newsela assessed. Two different types of kelp were studied: a perennial kelp, Laminaria groenlandia, and other annual kelps. The results are shown in the graph below.

Read the article given below and answer the questions that follow: Recent increases in populations of seabirds that were depleted severely during the middle of the twentieth century demonstrate the efficacy of conservation strategies that work within the context of local culture. Along the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Quebec, Canada, direct exploitation and disturbance of breeding seabirds caused severe declines for several species between 1955 and 1978, including 84 percent and 76 percent declines for Razorbill and Atlantic Puffin, respectively. Significant reductions also occurred for populations of Common Eider (Somateria molissima), Common Murre (Uria aalge), and Black Guillemot (Cyphus grylle). Research by the Quebec-Labrador Foundation, a nonprofit conservation organization, into root causes of the population declines along a 400-km stretch of coast revealed conflicts between conventional enforcement of migratory bird regulations and cultural norms. A household…

ENDANGERED ANIMAL is CA least tern bird 1-3 bases on the bird Reasons for Endangerment Explain the various factors that have led to this species’ current plight. Expand on these points individually, based on your species’ unique story. Domino Effects As we’ve learned, species are not islands unto themselves; they are integrated with many other organisms in trophic relationships, mutualisms, competition, etc. How is the absence of this species (or its lowered population size) likely to impact the other members of its habitat? (If findings specific to this point are available, please include them – otherwise, I’m asking you to speculate based on what you’ve learned about the biology of this organism.) Conservation Efforts Discuss past, current, and proposed efforts to conserve this species. Are these strategies effective? Are they realistic? What is the outlook for this organism?

Regarding the status of the Red-shouldered Hawk in Wisconsin, select the correct statement(s). And select the best overall best answer. WDNR= Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. a. the WDNR listed the species in 1979 as 'threatened' and did so with detailed, specific data on population size, density, and nest site reproduction-and used these data to accurately compare more current data to earlier baseline information b. the WDNR provided to me clear and detailed information that supported the premise that the Red-shouldered Hawk in 1979, was an imperiled species that likely in the near future was likely to become Endangered. c. the Red-shouldered Hawk is currently listed as a Threatened state species d. none of the above
