BONUS: criticаl thinking (4 pts) A biоlоgist studied а pоpulаtion of squirrels for fifteen years. During that time, the population always fell between 30 – 45 squirrels. Her data showed that over half of the squirrels born did not survive to reproduce, because of both competition for food and predation. Recently, in a single generation (the sixteenth year), 90% of the squirrels that were born lived to reproduce, and the population increased to eighty. What can we infer about this recent surge in the population size? (E.g. What is the best explanation for this increase?)
