You and your team continue to study the population of long-tongued pucas. You counted 1,000 individuals in this population at the start of the year. Over the course of a year, 150 pucas were born and 75 died. What is the per capita rate of increase (r) for this population?

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?

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…

(Number marked × total number recaptured)# recaptured with mark/Number marked × total number recaptured# recaptured with mark The formula above is the equation for estimated population size using the Mark and Recapture method of population estimation.  I initially catch and tag 10 rabbits.  Later I recapture 50 total rabbits and 10 of those are marked.  What is the estimated population size of this rabbit population?    Question 22 options:   500 rabbits   20 rabbits   2 rabbits   50 Rabbits

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

Several years ago wolves were reintroduced in to a national park in North Carolina. Researchers have monitored the populations over the last several years and the per capita growth rate of the population is .5. If the current population size is 100, what equation would you use to determine how large the population will be in ten years? O N(1+r)* N/t *r O (N*r)/t

Use the cohort life table below to answer this question. You can assume the population started with 200 individuals and thát there is a 50/50 male-to-female ratio. Age Class Survivorship Fecundity 0-1 1.0 1-2 0.9 2-3 0.4 3-4 0.0 0. The population described in this table is: O A) growing O B) declining O C) stable

The per capita birth (b) and death (d) rates are measured for two populations across a range of population sizes in the attached figure. The equation for exponential growth rate is dN/dt=rN where the per capita growth rate is r=(b-d). The equation for logistic population growth rate is dN/dt=rN(1-N/K). With logistic growth, r varies as a function of the population size with density-dependent birth and/or death rates. See attached image If the death rate decreased, what would happen to the population trajectory for population A? a) increase faster b) increase slower c) decrease faster d) decrease slower
