This section starts explaining how scientists use the population survey data that are collected to model how the lionfish population changes over time. These models enable scientists to make predictions about population changes, which is an important element of developing plans for managing the lionfish population
You'll be using the discrete-time logistic model that is described on this page in future parts of the case study, so make sure to carefully read through the explanation of this mathematical model. Even if you don't have a strong math background, this case study walks through the equation step by step.
6)Which of the following are constant terms in the discrete-time logistic model?
choose all that apply
a)Nt
b)ΔN
c)t
d)K
e)Δt
f)rmax,d
g)None of these

- How can the "straight line instinct" lead to problems? Explain by giving two examples, one about human population growth and one that is not about human population growth.arrow_forwardRead Chapter 18 of your textbook. Upon completion, identify and provide a description of the three (3) prominent financial statements LTC administrators use to monitor effective financial management within their facilities. Describe the purpose of a pro format report? Why is it important for LTC administrators to maintain census levels and diversify the resident payer mix? What strategies might LTC administrators execute to control costs and other expenses?arrow_forwardWhen looking at fish populations the number of eggs produced at spawning is known as: Group of answer choices Recruitment Fishery production Spawn-o-rama Osmoregulation Carrying Capacityarrow_forward

Enter the "r" numerical value in the cell to the right of r: (cell B6). Press ENTER after you enter the "r" value for Tiger. Keep No: the default value of 2. What is the projected population number at No (after 6 generations)? Enter the number below as a numerical value.arrow_forwardYou study a population of mussels recently introduced to a section of the Rideau River 9 years ago. You know that 20 mussels were originally let go in the river by a resident. These mussels have no predators. You know from your research that, under ideal conditions, the instantaneous rate of increase of this mussel species is 0.17. You also think the conditions on the river were ideal when the mussels were introduced. After surveying the food available in the river, you estimated that there is enough food to support a population of 12,700 mussels. How many mussels do expect to be in the river now?arrow_forward
- You 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_forwardPlease answer fastarrow_forward(Number marked × total number recaptured)# recaptured with mark/Number marked × total number recaptured# recaptured with mark The formula above is the equation for estimated population size using the Mark and Recapture method of population estimation. I initially catch and tag 10 rabbits. Later I recapture 50 total rabbits and 10 of those are marked. What is the estimated population size of this rabbit population?
