Summary Introduction

To describe: The events that happened to the population of coyotes and white-tailed deer between 1700 and now in terms of their range and abundance.

Introduction: Before 1700, wolves roamed over almost all-over North America, coyotes were found mostly in the west of the Mississippi, and white-tailed deer lived throughout the eastern United States, and here most of the land was covered with coniferous or deciduous forests. Wolves reduce the coyote and white-tailed deer population by chasing and hunting them.

Wildebeest are species of antelope found in southern Africa. The wildebeest herd in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, is the largest herbivore herd on Earth. Scientists began monitoring the sizes of the Serengeti's large mammal populations in the 1960s. Over the next few decades, they noticed something unusual: the wildebeest population was increasing at a rate much faster than before. The scientists determined that this increase was due to several factors. One factor was a vaccination program that eradicated rinderpest, a viral disease that kills wildebeest. Based on the figure, what kind of population growth model would you use to represent wildebeest (circles) populations? wildebeest zebra 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 year Figure 1.
