How is your population estimate affected if the critter you are capturing (and re-capturing) is trap shy?  Why?

Jim and Jon were walking through a [c]-acre wood lot in central Minnesota. Their goal was to find the number of male deer in the population. The day went on and they had an overall count of [a] females and [b] males. They knew they only counted 10% of the total number of deer on the plot. What is the density of male deer on the plot?  Enter only a number rounded to two decimal places, with no units.

Match the habitat or diet use term with the definition or characteristic.

Arrange the stages of forest development in order from first to last following a catastrophic, forest-clearing event (such as a windstorm or clear cut).

This billboard is intended to evoke an emotional response in support of protecting deer (presumably so they can be hunted in the fall given it is paid for my the Deer Hunters Association), and not supportive of current wolf population abundance.  Other billboards suggest a wolf hunting season is the solution to protecting deer fawns from ravenous wolves.   Assume that this number is correct and that harvesting wolves will change the mortality on deer fawns attributable to wolves. What is the key piece of information that you need to understand to determine if harvesting wolves will result more deer the following fall for the deer hunters or if this strategy is not supported by science.  (your answer can be as short as a half-dozen words but feel free to write more as needed)

QDM strategies are effective because deer are regulated by density-dependent processes.

In the most general sense, calculations to estimate population size (N-hat) most often need to estimate:

Prospective cohort studies are less expensive and require minimum time to conduct as compared to either case-control or retrospective studies.

A line intercept method can be used to estimate vegetation cover.  What group of plants below does the line intercept method fail to work well (tends to underestimate percent cover)?  FYI, this is from the reading.

Bob and Mark plotted the locations of Hermit Thrush nests on their study area on the Chippewa National Forest.  Bob plotted [HT1] nests and Mark plotted [HT2] nests.  When they compared data, they both observed only [HT3] nests in the same study area. What is the estimate for the population size of Hermit Thrush nests?   (Round your estimate to the nearest whole Hermit Thrush nest; enter only a number)
