Conservationists will take snow geese off the endangered species list when the population hits 10,000. If populations are growing continuously and exponentially with a constant r of 0.088 geese per goose per year, and the population in 2001 is 3000 individuals, in what year will snow geese be taken off the endangered species list? between 2106 and 2109 between 2009 and 2012 between 2012 and 2015 O between 2015 and 2018
A severe winterkill seemingly killed all the trout in a lake. A decision is made to restock the lake with trout from a nearby lake. The carrying capacity of the stocked lake is estimated at 11,500 trouts and the instantaneous rate of increase of the species is estimated at 0.006. If the lake is stocked with 800 trout, how many trout will be in the lake after 55 years. Round your answer to the closet full number.
Which of the following is not a part of the red list criteria for "critically endangered" species? The population is expected to decline by 25% or more within 3 years or 1 generation. The species has a restricted range <100km2 at a single location and there is observed or predictive habitat loss, fragmentation, ecological imbalance or heavy commercial pollution. Extinction probably is greater than 50% within 10 years or 3 generations. The total population size is less than 200 mature individuals.
POPULATION TRENDS FOR GUAM NATIVE BIRD SPECIES 140 130 120 110 100 E 90 80 70 60 Mariana Crow = Rufous Fantail - Micronesian Starling = Micronesian Honeyeater Chestnut Munia 50 40 30 20 10 04 76 The island of Guam in the South Pacific had no natural predators until the early 1950s, when the brown tree snake was accidentally introduced by either ships or aircraft shortly after the Second World War. Scientists studying the effects of this invasive species surveyed five different native bird species in an area of northern Guam that the brown snake had recently invaded. The graph shows the population data of the five different native bird species from 1976 to 1998. Which of the following best describes the data and explains the effect of the arrival of the brown tree snake on Guam's native bird species? Birds/100 km

Trumpeter swans were once widespread and abundant in North America. However, a combination of heavy hunting pressure and habitat lost drastically 4 reduced the species’ population down to less than 70 individuals in the wild by the mid-1930s. By the mid-1980s, Trumpeter swans were more prevalent again in Alberta, especially near Grande Prairie. The following graph depicts the estimated number of Trumpeter swans in Alberta, carried out at five-year intervals from 1985 to 2010. What growth pattern of the Trumpeter swan population in Alberta is being observed? What environmental conditions allow the growth pattern that you identified? What may cause the growth pattern that is being observed to change?
A gypsy moth population has overtaken a grove of oak trees. The gypsy moths eat the trees, causing the trees to die. What type of density-dependent factor would the gypsy moths be considered?
In the land between the lakes, Elk and Bison Prairie, we currently have 125 bison and 15 elk. These species are known to compete for some but not all of their resources. We are able to determine that the carrying capacity of the bison K1 is 200 and that the alpha (competition coefficient) is 4. The carrying capacity for Elk (K2) is 100 and the beta (competition coefficient) is 1.
