wildlife population ecology
6 of 10
mark the following statements as true or false.

1. carrying is a biotic factor.

options: true, false

1. fecundity refers to the natural capacity to and the number of offspring produced.

options: true, false

1. recruitment is not affected by emigration.

options: true, false

Explanation:

To solve these true - false questions about wildlife population ecology, we analyze each statement:

Statement 1: "Overcrow is a biotic factor."

Biotic factors are the living or once - living components of an ecosystem. Overcrowding involves interactions between living organisms (like competition for resources among the same species). So this statement is True.

Statement 2: "Fertility refers to the natural capacity to and the number of offspring produced."

By the definition of fertility in the context of population ecology, it is indeed about an organism's natural ability to reproduce and the quantity of offspring it can produce. So this statement is True.

Statement 3: "Recruitment is NOT affected by emigration."

Recruitment in population ecology is related to the addition of new individuals to a population (through birth or immigration). Emigration is the movement of individuals out of a population. Since recruitment deals with the inflow of new individuals and emigration is an outflow, emigration does not directly affect recruitment (recruitment is more about the processes that add new members to the population from within the reproductive cycle or immigration). So this statement is True.

Answer:

s:

• For "Overcrow is a biotic factor.": True
• For "Fertility refers to the natural capacity to and the number of offspring produced.": True
• For "Recruitment is NOT affected by emigration.": True
