In the webinar on science of coexisting with large carnivores, Dr. Jeremy Bruskotter explained the causes of attitudes to carnivores and the complex correlates of tolerance for wolves. Identify the best summary of his recommendations from the statements below: Group of answer choices Attitudes and the behaviors they can cause may lead some people to protect wolves. People's reported willingness to help wolves was correlated with their intolerance of people from other backgrounds. Behaviors and the attitudes they can cause may lead some people to attempt to harm wolves. People's reported willingness to harm wolves was positively correlated with their intolerance of people from other backgrounds. Attitudes and the behaviors they can cause may lead some people to attempt to harm wolves. People's reported willingness to harm wolves was positively correlated with their tolerance of people from other backgrounds. Attitudes and the behaviors they can cause may lead some people to attempt to harm wolves. People's reported willingness to harm wolves was correlated with their intolerance of people from other backgrounds.

Wolves, once native to Yellowstone National Park, were hunted to the point of complete extinction in the park. As a result, the elk population in the park flourished, putting extra demands on the carrying capacity of the park. Many other species, such as certain trees and beavers, were negatively affected by the increase in elk. Years later, wolves were reintroduced into the park. While the elk population decreased after the wolves returned, the beaver and songbird populations began to increase as did the populations of various plant species. Which of the following best explains how wolves are a keystone species in this ecosystem? A. Wolves help balance the population sizes of other species, allowing more species to thrive in the wolves' presence than in their absence. B. Wolves prey on certain species, increasing competition among other species, which results in a decrease in biodiversity in the ecosystem. C. Wolves are not affected by factors that typically limit the population size; therefore, their population can grow exponentially, increasing the demand on the parks' resources. D. Wolves prey on other species without having any natural predators themselves; therefore, their presence significantly decreases many populations within the community.

Biology 209 Predation Problem Isle Royale is the largest island in Lake Superior and the site of a national park. Wolves and deer frequently migrate across the winter ice from Minnesota to the island, creating predator-prey systems based on a single predator species and a single prey species. Assume that 1500 deer and 300 wolves migrate in a particular year and that the following year the National Park Service erects a fence that prohibits additional animals from coming into the park. Assume the deer have a per capita birth rate of 2.1 and a per capita death rate of 1.6. The attack rate of wolves on deer is 0.001, the conversion factor of deer into wolves is 0.1, and the mortality rate of wolves in the absence of deer is 250 individuals per 1000 individuals. Draw the ZNGIs for the deer and the wolf on a graph of wolf population size versus deer population size. Track the changes in population size for each species over time. Which species goes extinct first? What happens to the other species following the extinction of the first?

Wolf packs tend to be large extended family groups that have a well-defined hunting territory. Wolves not in the pack are driven out of the territory or killed. In ecologically similar regions, is the size of an extended wolf pack related to the size of the hunting region? Using radio collars on wolves, the size of the hunting region can be estimated for a given pack of wolves. Let x represent the number of wolves in an extended pack and y represent the size of the hunting region in km²/1000. The following data are representative of one of the national parks. x wolves 29 37 22 61 94 y km²/1000 7.35 12.18 8.15 15.39 16.81 (d) Find the predicted size of the hunting region for an extended pack of 78 wolves. (Use 2 decimal places.) km²/1000 (f) Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that β > 0. (Use 2 decimal places.) t critical t
