Question
The conservation biology is a branch of life which deals with management of biodiversity present in the Earth in order to protect the various species living on it. The population viability is important in context of conservation as it help to determine the probability of any specific population which would extinct in a specific period of time. Therefore if the population viability got decreased, it is very important to provide every resources so that population can go alive and survive and reproduce efficiently so that they do not get extinct.
What makes a population viable in the context of conservation biology?
One major concern in conservation biology is the loss of genetic variation in small populations due to genetic drift via bottlenecks. If a drastic bottleneck reduces the size of the population to 12 which had an initial heterozygosity of 0.38, How much of the initial heterozygosity will be lost after one generation? After the bottleneck If the population size remains the same in each following generation how much of the initial heterozygosity will remain after 10 generations?
A graduate student in the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology is interested in the number of sun fish with a particular non-fatal disease in Lake George. She uses large seine nets to catch 472 sun fish. After close examination, 222 are found to have the disease. Find an 80% confidence interval for the true proportion of sun fish with the disease in Lake George. Report the margin of error for your answer.

What are the equations for the law of conservation and conservation of charge?
Describe data, information, and knowledge in the context of population health.
Is there something about the business context that makes egoism acceptable (or even required)?
Enumerating the viable and total cell concentration of a population of a microbial isolate can be a really laborious task for a microbiologist. Especially when a microbiologist studies the same isolate for several years, it often becomes practical to determine the relationship between optical density (OD) and cell concentration. Once this relationship (determined by a standard curve) is determined, the OD of an isolate in a broth can be routinely used to determine the population's concentration. Why must a standard...
