Yоu аre hired аs the mаnager оf a preserve оn which there is a population of an endangered parthenogenetic (female-only, asexually reproducing) lizard. You are charged with the future preservation of this population. The first thing you do is to construct a cohort life table in order to see whether individuals in the population are replacing themselves. x Life stage in months N(x) Number of individuals l(x) Survivorship F(x) Fecundity 0 1000 1.0 0 3 300 0.3 0 6 200 0.2 4 9 100 0.1 1 12 0 0.0 0 Note that this question has 3 parts. (a) Based on the life table data, the net reproductive rate R0 is [number-a]. (Report to one place after the decimal, e.g. 0.1) (b) This population is [change] in population size over time. (Choose increasing or decreasing) (c) You hypothesize that a fungal pathogen is delaying reproduction in this population, so you treat the population to suppress the fungus. After treatment the life table looks slightly different: x (mo) N(x) l(x) F(x) 0 1000 1.0 0 3 400 0.4 1 6 200 0.2 4 9 100 0.1 0 12 0 0.0 0 The fungal suppression treatment [outcome] the status of this population of concern. (Choose: improved, did not change, or did not improve)
