The allee effect is a phenomenon that occurs when population size?
The allee effect is a phenomenon that occurs when population size decreases, leading to decreased reproduction or survival rates. This can result in a feedback loop where the population spirals towards extinction. Efforts to prevent the allee effect may involve conservation strategies that increase population size or enhance reproductive success.
How does the lynx population size affect the hare population?
The lynxes eat rabbits, so their effect is to reduce the rabbit population.
What is a factor that has the greatest effect in keeping down the size of a population?
limiting factor
In a research study with an effect size of .20 the population of individuals have an overlap of about?
25%
What is the factor that has the greatest effect in keeping down the size of a population called?
limiting factor
The variation in the population as measured by the standard deviation has little or no effect in determining the size of a sample selected from the population True or False?
The answer is False
What three factors can effect population size?
Food Source, Water Source, and Mortality Rate
Genetic drift resulting from a disaster that drastically reduces population size is called?
The bottleneck effect.
Bottleneck effect vs founder effect?
bottleneck effect is an evolutionary event in which population size is radically reduced because of catastrophic events. founder effect occur when few individuals migrate from main population and establishes a separate population in new geographical location. both of these are special cases of genetic drift.
What are the two types of genetic drift?
There are two types of genetic drift, there is a the population bottle neck effect and the founder effect. The population bottle neck effect is when a population greatly decreases in size due to some random ecological event and the small population has a greater chance of genetic variation. The founder effect is a variation of the bottle neck effect in which a small portion of a larger population to branch off or get "isolated" from the larger population and have a greater chance of genetic variation. Have fun and hope this helps.
What characteristic do a bottleneck and a founder effect have in common?
The founder effect a genetic bottleneck are similar in their effect on the genetic diversity of a local population in both situations. They result in the development of a population from a small number individuals and is likely to have reduced genetic diversity.
Why is large population size important in maintaining genetic equilibrium?
Genetic drift has less effect on large populations.
