This HW will help you grapple with some concepts (and \"math\") we\'ve covered in lecture. This exercise will also prepare you for the lab on Sea Turtle dynamic. If you can do this homework, you\'ll be well prepared to do well in that lab. Answers Parts 1-2 on your own; feel free to can work in groups on 3-7 You are studying one of the last remaining populations of an endangered bird. this bird reproduces each spring. Each summer you tag all new fledglings and look for older marked birds they don\'t migrate, and you\'re really observant, so if you don\'t see them, they are dead. Based upon the data you\'ve collected, you have parametrized a size stage structured model. The resulting life cycle diagram is given here. What proportion of the birds in the \"small\" class survive over the subsequent year? (You will need to provide this answer via Tophat] Which group has the lowest annual survival? [You will need to provide this answer via Tophat]

Solution

1.Proportion of birds in the small class that survive over subsequent year=>total exiting- total entering/ total

=>0.5/0.3+0.6=0.5/0.9=5/9

2.the lowest annual survival

for small=5/9

medium=0.3/0.5=3/5

large=10/1=10

Therefore the small has the lowest annual survival
