Question
Chapter 56.2, Problem 3EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way by which Murie’s data and Deevey’s analysis affect the decision of the Park Service concerning the control of the wolf population.
Introduction: The Dall mountain sheep lives in mountainous habitat which includes sub-artic and arctic regions of Alaska. In the late 1930s, a sharp decline in the population of the Dall mountain sheep was observed by U.S National Park Service. Some people thought that increased wolf predation was the reason for the decline in the population of sheep

- Explain the research methodology, design, and analyses. This study analyzed the research trends in the field of digital twins by examining metadata from 9639 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2023. We processed the metadata using an NLP-based toolkit and manually labeled each article with its most relevant application field. Using the KCN methodology, we performed temporal research trend analysis, mapping popular sensing technologies to six application fields and identifying representative examples of digital twins in each field. For researchers, this analysis provides a comprehensive view of the field's development, identifying key areas for future exploration. For architects, the findings highlight technological applications and examples essential for informed decision making in digital twin system design. This study found that the field of digital twins is rapidly growing and diversifying. We used network metrics to analyze the temporal changes in the field and…arrow_forwardYou are part of a group of researchers examining the survivorship and fecundity of Bengal Tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) in the Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Parts of the reserve are well-protected from poaching, and other parts are largely unprotected. Over a period of several years, you’ve gathered demographic data (summarized below) on tigers in both poached and unpoached locations; assume that mx numbers represent female offspring born per female. Note that your demographic data begins at age 1, and does not include survivorship of cubs from birth to age 1. Also, note that Sx is listed here -- this is related to, but is NOT the same as lx… To calculate r, use the formula r = ln(Ro)/T.

- In this task, you will assume the role of a wildlife biologist that must decide if reintroduction of cougars into the Eastern US is a feasible mitigation strategy for addressing white-tailed deer overpopulation. You will use scientific information from a variety of sources and what you learn in each learning cycle to support or challenge the reintroduction of cougars to the Eastern United States. Your position on the issue should be based on evidence related to the following factors: impact that the deer population is having on ecosystems • social and economic costs of the overpopulation of deer on various stakeholders • the habitat requirements of cougars, the availability of natural resources and carrying capacity of areas where they would be introduced • potential cougar impact on biodiversity, including on populations of coyote and white-tailed deer potential social and economic costs or benefits to stakeholders in areas where cougars are introducedarrow_forwardWhich of the lab field techniques would you use to answer each of the following questions?
