Document Summary
5 long answers (variable pts each - graded based on rubric) 5 out of 6 definitions (2 pts each) If you say too much and are wrong you"ll lose pts. Metapopulation: not only population of one fragment, but rather aggregate of populations throughout a series of fragments (they can disperse from sources to sinks) May create the appearance of a metapopulation, but may just create more sinks and lose the source populations. If there is dispersal between the different fragments that are formed by deforestation, then deforestation can be said to create metapopulations. What deforestation might do is restructure the population. If it is already a metapopulation, deforestation does not change that. If fragmented so much that it is not sustainable population, then this is not a metapopulation. Present an evolutionary argument as to why male langurs commit infanticide after they takeover a group and outline how this might affect the number of females in the group.
