Answer: The estimated population is 1250 mice
Explanation: The method use was marked and recapture, in which individuals are marked in the first capture and after some time biologist trap a new group of individuals that can be or not marked
Whit this data is possible to estimate the size of a population applying the Peterson method but is important to make some considerations such as:
1. All indivuals have the same probability to be capture
2, The population remain constant in terms of birth and death rate.
Taking this into account, the formula that allows to determine the size of the population is:
N=CM / R
where N is the size of the population, C is number of indivuals trapped in recapture, M is number of individuals marked in the first capture and R is the number of marked animals trapped in recapture
In this case:
N = 250 * 200 / 40 = 1250
Biotic and living are the same thing, abiotic would be non-living
<span>According to the ipat model, technology that enhances our acquisition of minerals, fossil fuels, timber, and ocean fish increase environmental impact.
IPAT is a model or equation which expresses that
I (stands for Environmental impact) is the product of three factors: P (stands for population), A (is affluence) and T ( for Technology).
IPAT can be written as (I=PAT) or I = pxAxT</span>
The Arctic Fox lives in the Arctic Tundra (more or less around Alaska, Iceland I think, and other places like that). During the winter, their fur is very thick and solid white (not always SOLID but generally speaking). During the summer and spring, their fur turns brown.
1. Of course, during the winter in those regions, it's going to be snowing and ice is going to be all over the ground. By having a white coat, they're able to blend in and hide from predators, such as the Arctic Wolf and Polar Bears. By turning brown, they'll be able to blend in with the dirt after the snow and ice melts, and again, hide from predators. For the other fox, their brown coat blends in with the dirt, trees, dead leaves, etc. and they'll be able to hide from prey and predators alike.
2. The Arctic Fox also has very thick fur during the winter, which allows it to survive the extreme temperatures. They also dig burrows in the snow for shelter in blizzards. This gives them the ability to survive natural disasters (at least one of them).
I can't think of a third one but these should give you a pretty good idea of how their adaptations help them survive. I really love the Arctic fox so I know quite a bit about them. I really hope this helps you.
