Briefly explain why you chose your answer your answer to the last question about whether the fungal suppression treatment improved, did not change, or did not improve the population status. 

You are hired as the manager of a preserve on 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)
