Name- Exercise 1. A conservation biologist is in charge of the recovery of an endangered species called the Giant Kangaroo Rat (GKR), depicted below. The GKR lives in arid grasslands in California and is endangered because most of its range has been developed into agriculture One of the issues threatening the remaining populations is that the kangaroo rats are becoming infected with ear mites that interfere with their hearing ability, which affects mating and survival. The biologist goes to three different GKR populations and collects data on the number of ear mites on six GKR in each population, shown below Carizzo 5 Panoche 15 12 8 0 4 4 Lokern 21 12 8 24 18 20 18 13
