Question

Which best describes what is occurring in this population of squirrels? Number of Squirrels Entering and Leaving a Population after 1 Year Cause of change Number of squirrels Died from predation 2 Born 4 Immigration 10 Left to find food 3 Died from disease 8 Left to find a mate 3

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The population of squirrel is decreasing and this can be traced to the environment not being favorable for their growth and development.

Looking at the data generated,

Died from predation =2

Born=4

Immigration=10

Left to find food =3

Died from disease=8

Left to find mate=3

If all the squirrel did not abandon their habitat and they all live there a total of 2+4+10+3+8+3= 30 squirrel would have been present, but given that only 4 were born and that others left for another place the population is reduced to 4 and 26 squirrel gone this has lead to a reduced population.
