osculum
what is the structure located between the small and large intestine in the rat
cecum
what is the most accurate method for determining population size
mark and recapture
which quadrant sampling method provides a more accurate estimate of population size for a clumped distribution pattern
intervals
why cant the mark and recapture sampling method be used for plants
plants don’t move so this is not possible
what might cause actual population growth to not match theoretical population growth estimates when using exponential growth equations
stochastic events, competition for food, predation
how might introduction of white tailed deer to isle royal alter the moose pop
moose population would decrease as they have the same food source
what effect does predation typically have on the health of a prey population’s members
predation improves overall health by removing weak individuals
a good ecological model is a tradeoff between realism and simplicity. state two simplifications made on the isle royal model
all of the above
