The northern red backed vole (clethrionomys rutilus) is a mouselike animal that lives in the arctic. A random sampling surveyusing ten 1m? quadrats collected the following data on the numberof voles per quadrat:
2,0, 4,1,5,3,0,4,2,1
Assume that the entire sampling area contains suitable habitatfor the voles.
a) Using the data provided, estimate the population size ofvoles if the habitat has an ecological area of 230m?. Show yourwork.(3 marks)
b) WHat dispersion pattern best describes the distribution ofvoles sampled in this study?( 1 mark)
