On the mystical island of Lumina, researchers discover the elusive Glowfinch, a bird with radiant feathers that glow in the dark. During a mark-recapture study, 50 Glowfinches are marked with luminescent bands and released. In the second capture, 100 Glowfinches are caught, and 20 of them are found to still shimmer brightly. What is the estimated population size (N) of Glowfinches on Lumina? 0160 250 500 130 O100 200 13

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…

A population of grey squirrels started with one pair and grows logistically with annual r = 1 and K = 42. Use the logistic growth equation to predict the population size 14 years after the first pair arrived.

What is the value of being able to estimate thre size of a population? (For example, the Bluefin Tuna Population)? White- tail Deer)?
