Wildlife statistics: 1) what is a P-value (or probability value), and 2) how is it generally interpreted (i.e., what is the difference in interpretation among P-values of 0.80, 0.08, and 0.008)?

For this question, your panel analysis will connect to a THEME of your choice.  How does Satrapi develop a major THEME through her graphic novel style?  You may refer to ONE or TWO of the panel choices below.       

Conservation is a subset of preservation.

Match the survivorship curve to various species and population characteristics.

The largest population size that the environment can sustain indefinitely is the Maximum Sustained Yield.

Match the following sampling designs with their description.

Grassland agricultural fields (e.g., field of alfalfa) often look great to grassland nesting birds early in the spring because they mimic or are structurally similar to native grasslands.  However, they become much less desirable as agronomic practices (disturbance, haying, etc.) are initiated. From an ecological perspective, these areas represent:

A group of subpopulations, each in a patch of habitat that is isolated from each other by an inhospitable matrix is a ___________. (exactly 1 word answer)

A hard release of a translocated animal allows it to adjust to the surrounding environment before it is released into the wild. 

In the most general sense, calculations to estimate population size (N-hat) most often need to estimate:
