Population Viability Analysis Introduction Over the last few lectures we’ve talked about the stochastic threats to persistence in small populations. We identified five classes of threats and some of their qualitative properties: 1. Genetic stochasticity — Not a problem in populations with Ne greater than a few hundred. Therefore‚ not likely to be a problem in populations large enough to buffer environmental stochasticity 2. Demographic stochasticity — Unlikely to be a problem in populations with

The U.S. population—currently estimated at 307.5 million persons—has more than doubled since its 1950 level of 152.3 million. More than just being double in size‚ the population has become qualitatively different from what it was in 1950. As noted by the Population Reference Bureau

A population of 80 longhorn cattle was introduced onto an island on 1 October 1960. There was no subsequent migration of longhorn cattle to or from the island. Let Pn denote the size of the longhorn cattle population on the island on 1 October n years after 1960. (a) In this part assume that‚ for each integer n ≥ 0‚ the number of births and deaths in the year beginning 1 October n years after 1960 are 1.52Pn and 1.24Pn‚ respectively.

Lemon 1 A population-at-risk I have chosen was the youth aging-out of foster care. By calling it “age-out” I’m referring to it as occurring both before and after leaving foster care. Nationally‚ there are 20‚000 youth in foster care who are at the aging out of foster care. Generally‚ these children has been abused or neglected. There are those who feel as if foster care can have some type of impact on this particular lifestyle for these youth adults aging out of this care. Some feel that

seal populations? 2.Using Table 2 and 3‚ explain how the birth rates of the seals and the death rates of the whales affected the carrying capacity for both whales and seals. 3.For the second trial in Part 1‚ we doubled the whale population and reduced the seal population by half. However‚ the carrying capacity for the seals only decreased slightly from the first trial. What do you think caused this outcome? 4.If another source of prey were available to the whales‚ what changes in population size
