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…

O Villay Use the passage to answer the question. Mule Deer A) In a short paragraph, propose a hypothesis to test the effect of a zoned reserve on mule deer populations. Justify your hypothesis based on your This image shows a male mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), which is native to western North America. Named for their large ears, mule knowledge of zoned reserves. deer are hunted for sport and food under strict management B) In 1-2 short paragraphs, outline a field experiment to test your hypothesis on the effect of a zoned reserve on mule deer populations. Describe your control group, experimental group, and the data you would collect. Identify at least two environmental factors that could affect your data collection and practices, such as designated hunting seasons and limits on how many deer a hunter can take. Imagine a scenario where the local mule deer population has declined after a harsh winter. Wildlife management agencies have how you would address them, if possible. proposed…
Please help me answer this in 10 sentences only. In the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD), the precautionary principle read “when there is a threat of significant reduction or loss of biological diversity, lack of full scientific uncertainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measure to minimize or avoid threat”. What is the application of this principle to straddling fish stocks and migratory fishes? Thank you very much for your help
Describe two interspecific interactions where both species benefit and both species are at a disadvantage. Identify the interaction.
Apparent competition is a term in ecology referring to a specific type of indirect interaction. Describe an example of apparent competition that does not involve a predator.
Once an abundant species in Alberta, the caribou population is currently staggering at approximately 6,700 individuals. Little Smoky caribou herd is located in Northern Alberta, and its population is a risk of extirpation. In 1970, there were only 123 caribous in the Little Smoky area with a per capita growth rate of –0.258 between 1970 and 2012. What was the population of Little Smoky caribou herd in 2012? Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number.
You are interested in studying intraspecific competition among tadpoles (the immature stage of frogs, which live in freshwater habitats). You survey three tiny ponds to count the number of tadpoles: one pond has 0 tadpoles, one pond has 10 tadpoles, and one pond has 100 tadpoles. The consumer-weighted density estimate used to quantify the potential for intraspecific competition is as follows: Mean number of tadpoles per tadpole Number of tadpoles present in \the pond where tadpole i is located, Total number of tadpolès N=total number of tadpoles Using this equation, the resource-weighted density estimate across these three ponds is O a. 36.67 tadpoles/pond O b. 110 tadpoles/pond O c. 30.33 tadpoles/tadpole O d. 55 tadpoles/tadpole O e. 91.8 tadpoles/tadpole

Read the excerpt below and highlight the answers to the questions. 1. What is carrying capacity? 2. How do limiting factors affect carrying capacity? Carrying Capacity If a population is small and resources are plentiful, a population may grow quickly. But over time, because of limiting factors, population growth tends to slow and then stop. The population has reached the "carrying capacity" of the ecosystem. Female cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) are especially fertile, able to give birth to seven litters a year. While this would suggest areas with cottontail rabbits would be overrun by them, this isn't the case. Rabbit populations are restricted by factors like food availability and predation. Due to these limiting factors the rabbit population will only get so big and that is it's carrying capacity. Carrying capacity can fluctuate depending on the limiting factors. If there is more predation or little food, then the carrying capacity will be lower. If there is little…
