Question
If models that display population growth ignored age structure how would this limit their value for predicting furture
Expert Solution

Step 1: Answer
Variables at the population level are influenced by the characteristics of the people who make up the population.
The possibility of an individual survivorship Ix and the likelihood of an individual reproducing or fecundity x are the two fundamental characteristics of a population. In most species, both depend on the individual's age, as shown by taking a brief look around the planet.

- Carrying Capacity and the Bison of Yellowstone National Park The following text is adapted from an article in Yellowstone Science, a journal published by the National Park Service. An important part of the Yellowstone National Park ecosystem, bison are the largest land mammals in North America. Yellowstone bison historically occupied approximately 7,720 square miles (20,000 km²) in the headwaters of the Yellowstone and Madison rivers. Today, this range is restricted to primarily Yellowstone National Park and some adjacent areas of Montana. The bison population is subdivided into the central and northern breeding herds. One of the key issues related to the Yellowstone bison population is how it should be managed. From the beginning of the twentieth century through 1966, bison numbers were kept in check through regular culling. This culling was stopped in 1969. Officials decided to allow bison numbers to fluctuate according to such factors as weather, the availability of resources, and…arrow_forwardNATURAL SELECTION NATURAL SELECTION IN INSECTS SUBMIT INTRODUCTION LABORATORY SIMULATION Lab Data PHASE 6: Polluted forest Moths G1 G2 G3 G4 Complete the following steps: Released G5 Тyрica 250 125 88 83 76 Select initial allele frequencies 29 Carbonaria 750 510 735 885 1042 1406 Click Next generation to wait a year Total 1000 635 823 968 for first generation of moths 1118 1435 Phenotype Frequency Click Capture moths to monitor population numbers Color Initial Frequency Frequency G5 Next generation Calculate phenotype frequencies in 5th generation.

- These two figures show the relationship between the preference of two different oxpecker species for mammal species vs the tick abundance on different mammal species. The researchers controlled for the thickness of mammal hides. The researchers concluded that these relationships support the hypothesis that oxpeckers are mutualistic and not parasites. Select all the answers that might be a reason why they reached this conclusion. Group of answer choices A. These data show their is a positive relationship between oxpecker fitness and the fitness of mammal species. B. These data show that fitness of oxpeckers increases on mammal species with higher abundance of ticks C. The researchers hypothesized that if oxpeckers are parasitic and not mutualistic, they would expect that there would be no relationship between the preference of oxpeckers for a mammal species and the abundance of ticks on those species. These graphs show a positive relationship between those variables…arrow_forwardHow do hatcheries (i.e. farmed salmon) impact wild salmon population genetics? A: Increase species variability between different populations B: Decrease the resilience of wild populations C: Decrease mixing between different populations D: Overcrowd streams when they return to where they were spawnedarrow_forwardSuppose you model the interaction between elephants and acacias using a simple Lotka-Voterra predation model, where N is the number of A. depranolobium trees, and P = number of elephants. 5. According to the model, under what conditions would the elephants increase in population size? Group of answer choices At any point when the acacia tree population is greater than m/ba. At any point when the elephant population is greater than r/a. Only when the acacia tree population is less than its isocline. At any point when the elephant population is greater than the acacia tree isocline.arrow_forward
- https://media.hhmi.org/biointeractive/click/lionfish-invasion/introduction.html 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 thesearrow_forwardBased on the data below, which of the following statements best describes an effect of population density on mice populations: Number of Ave. Ave. Ratio of mice percent of number of male: successful mice per female breeding litter 50 60% 7.2 1:2 148 58% 6.8 1:2 374 57% 6.6 1:2 1700 39% 5.2 1:2 a.

- I need help with this questionarrow_forwardBirds generally have life-histories that can be placed on a fast-slow continuum. Species with fast life-histories have shorter life spans while species with slow life-histories have longer life spans. With this in mind, what contributes more to population growth for species found on each end of this spectrum, adult survival or annual fecundity, and why?arrow_forward
