Document Summary
Example: grizzly bear: why is mvp (minimum viable population) not such a focus in recent conservation work, most imperiled species are at risk because of downward trends in their population caused by habitat destruction and overharvest. It is basically the average number of individuals breeding successfully with in the assumption that gene contribution to the next generation is equal. In an ideal population: mating is random and the variation in the individual progeny (offspring) numbers is random. All individuals reproduce sexually and diploid/bisexual (plants): the effective population size is frequently less than actual population size. Variation in reproductive output: whether or not generations overlap ix. If you have 50 females and 50 males. Pva: goal: to determine probability of imminent extinction, why?-- we do(cid:374)(cid:859)t ha(cid:448)e u(cid:374)li(cid:373)ited (cid:396)esou(cid:396)(cid:272)es. O it (cid:373)ight (cid:271)e useful to k(cid:374)o(cid:449) the probability of going extinct because if you have an x amount of resources, you know where to spend it.
