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:

Match the following statistical terms to their definitions.

Assuming you want it around in perpetuity, the BEST single measure of a population’s long term stability is the:

This figure describes habitat selection of two species of fruit-eating bats (aka flying foxes, A. jubatus and P. vampyrus). Based upon this information and assuming the goal is to stabilize or increase the populations of both bat species, which habitat type(s) would you as a wildlife biologist choose to focus on to create or protect (rank them from most to least important)?
