On the mystical island of Lumina, researchers discover the elusive Glowfinch, abird with radiant feathers that glow in the dark. During a mark-recapture study,50 Glowfinches are marked with luminescent bands and released. In thesecond capture, 100 Glowfinches are caught, and 20 of them are found to stillshimmer brightly. What is the estimated population size (N) of Glowfinches onLumina?0160250500130O10020013

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…
A population of rabbits contained 200 individuals in 2017 and 300 in 2018. What was its finite rate of increase, λ, over that one year?
Two species have the same initial population size of 48.00, as well as rates of b = 0.83 and d = 0.66. However, species A reproduces seasonally and species B reproduces relatively continuously. How much bigger would the population of species B be after five years as compared to species A?
Draw a graph showing the growth of the species’ populations with time: put all species’ populations on a single figure. Extend the y-axis to 180. Label the axes and provide a suitable legend.
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 these
Based 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. Successful breeding decrease as population density decreases. b. the female to male ratio increases a population density decreases O c. Successful breeding decrease as population density increases d. Birthrate decreases as population density increases

A founder population of interesting creatures is established, and the average probability of identity by descent is calculated for each subsequent generation as follows: Generation F 1 0.05 2 0.0975 3 0.142625 4 0.2283625 a) What are the effective population sizes Ne for each Generation 1 through 4, relative to Generation 0 (the founder population)? b) What is the effective population size of Generation 4 relative to Generation 3? c) Is there any evidence for changes in population size after the founder event, and if so, at which generation did the size change in the number of breeding individuals occur?
A population of beetles exhibits two phenotypes: red and blue. The genotypes RR and Rr result in red coloration and the genotype rr results in blue coloration. The alleles are equally prevalent (i.e. both frequencies are 0.5). A new predator is introduced and preferentially feeds on blue beetles. What do you expect to happen to the allele frequencies over time? The frequency of the rallele is expected to increase because of predation pressure. O The frequency of the Rallele is expected to increase because of predation pressure. There is not enough information to predict what will occur. O There will be no change because of the Hardy-Weinberg equilbrium.
What is the value of being able to estimate thre size of a population? (For example, the Bluefin Tuna Population)? White- tail Deer)?
