Part I
1. Because only about 10% of the energy is passed to the next trophic level
2. Smaller populations will go through genetic drift, the problem is the the population will increase too fast that drift cannot happen
3. The term is effective population size mutations that get passed on would reduce the amount of breeding of jaguars below total number
4. It is important to protect endangered species because they can benefit humans
Part II
1. A species will adapt to the island it lives on
2. They are limited because of cost, more money is made, and a business is easier to maintain than a national park
3. Tecolote Canyon
Part III
1. Animals might move because there might no be enough food for them
2. Plants move by distrubution of seed they will move for more sunlight
3. Predators who live inside the forest but not predators who live outside the forest
4 Would the corridor size affect the movement of species
5. The movement in corridors determine if they are important. The type of data that would be collected is the amount of migration
Part IV
1. More animals use connected corridors than unconnected corridors
2. Plant species
3. Plants spread faster than mammals and insects
4. a) This is not a fair statement since they haven't seen if it's true or not
b) Researchers need to find the population size and biodiversity, they are right corridors can protect them from being harmed
c) They can use quadrant studies they can collect data by observing the animals in an area and estimating the biodiversity
5. A border fence can decrease the population of jaguars It will limit the area for them to reproduce and their will be competition for food and shelter
