SPECIES POPULATION ARE SUBJECTED TO DETERMINISTIC AND STOCHASTIC PROCESS BOTH OF WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE RISK OF EXTINCTION
DETERMINISTIC PROCESS DRIVE EXTINCTION WHEN GROWTH RATE IS LARGE.
STOCHASTIC PROCESS OFTEN DRIVE EXTINCTION RISK WHEN GROWTH RATE IS LOW
STOCHASTIC EXTINCTION AFFECT SMALLER POPULATION MORE THAN LARGER POPULATION BECAUSE:
POPULATION SIZE IS RELATED TO THE STRENGTH OF DRIFT AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF INBREEDING IN THE POPULATION. SMALL POPULATION TEND TO LOOSE GENETIC DIVERSITY MORE QUICKLY THAN LARGE POPULATION . THIS IS BECAUSE SOME VERSIONS OF GENES CAN BE LOST DUE TO RANDOM CHANCE AND THIS IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN POPULATION SIZE IS SMALL. ADDITIONALLY SMALLER POPULATION MEANS INDIVIDUALS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BREED WITH CLOSE RELATIVES. BOTH INBREEDING AND DRIFT REDUCE GENETIC DIVERSITY WHICH HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RISK OF POPULATION EXTINCTION, REDUCED POTENTIAL FOR RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES AND DECREASED DISEASE RESISTANCE WHICH MAKES THE INDIVIDUALS OF THE POPULATION DIFFICULT TO SURVIVE AND REPRODUCE.

1. Suppose that populations of slimy salamanders exist as a functioning metapopulation in woodlands of Arkansas. First, discuss probable characteristics of a "functioning metapopulation" of slimy salamanders. In other words, define what is meant by "functioning metapopulation”. Then suppose that favored contiguous woodland habitat is reduced and fragmented. Among other things, population sizes of slimy salamanders are now smaller. Why are the smaller, fragmented populations more vulnerable to extinction? What conservation measures could be implemented and why would you do...
