Question

31) Hunting is one way of reducing population size. Wildlife managers closely watch changes in population numbers of all wildlife species in order to determine legal hunting ‘bag limits’ for each hunter. Depending on changes in population size, hunting bag limits are changed from year to year. In each of the following scenarios, suggest what changes might have occurred in the population in the previous year to warrant these changes in bag limits. (Address all four factors that affect population size.) a) The mallard duck bag limit has increased from four ducks/day to eight ducks/day. b) The previous year 1 female black bear could be taken, and up to 3 males could be taken. This year no females can be taken.
