Plot survivorship curves for all three species illustrated in Table 1 on a single graph. Label the axes and provide a clear legend convert it and make use of legend, so for the first species it would be 6months=1unit, then for the second species 1yr=1unit, and the third species would be 50yrs=1unit
Draw a species accumulation curve for the beetles in Area C3, based on the data shown in Table 2. Ensure that you calculate a standard deviation around each average number of species per sample; plot this on this figure. Make sure you label the axes and that you provide a legend. You will need to reassemble the samples in all possible combinations in order to derive the species area curve.(porvided the table)
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?
Below is a table that shows the changes in a population of domesticated rabbits. What is the most likely explanation for why size of the rabbit population remained relatively constant from 1990-1992?

One concept of conservation biology is known as minimum viablepopulation. Some species’ populations are so fragmented andsmall that they may have very little genetic variability left. Withminimal genetic variation in the population, there is little likelihoodthat a population can adapt to an environmental threat, such as anew disease. Florida panthers are at or below the minimum viablepopulation level (estimated population less than 80). 1)Do you think that it is practical to use limited resources toconserve a population like the Florida panther? 2)Why?
The graph below shows changes in the size of an Emperorpenguin population in terms of numbers of breeding pairson the island of Terre Adelie in the Antarctic. Scientistsused these data along with data on the penguins’ shrinking ice habitat to project a general decline in the island’sEmperor penguin population, to the point where theywill be endangered in 2100. Use the graph to answer thequestions on the right. What was the overall percentage decline in thepenguin population from 1975 to 2010?
Create a two-part figure showing the effects of forest fragmentation on the community of small mammals relevant to Lyme disease in eastern forests. Figure A should depict the interaction network of a large forestpatch with higher species diversity. Figure B should illustrate how the interaction network and transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi are different in a small forest fragment with low species diversity than they are in largeforest patches with greater diverisity. Eastern forests are diverse communities in which many species interact with one another. Your figure will be asimplified interaction network showing some of the most important species related to the ecology of Lyme disease. Remember that your goal is to illustrate how increasing fragmentation affects forest mammal communities in a way that increases Lyme disease risk.• Choose from the following species for your figure: black-legged tick, white-footed mouse, raccoon, eastern chipmunk, gray squirrel, white-tailed deer,…
