that they were completely isolated

that they didnt suffer from inbreeding
there was just one giant pack whose alpha controlled all the wolves

1. what two factors are impacting the moose population? (select two boxes)

the growing wolf population
climate change
ticks
spinal deformity

1. using complete sentences explain two reasons why isle royale was a great location for studying population dynamics.

Explanation:

1. Wolves on Isle Royale were not completely isolated as some could potentially migrate. They hunted moose, suffered from in - breeding, and there wasn't just one giant pack.
2. The growing wolf population preys on moose and climate change can impact their habitat and food sources. Ticks can also weaken moose and affect their population.
3. Isle Royale was a great location for studying population dynamics because it has a relatively isolated ecosystem with a clear predator - prey relationship (wolves and moose), and it has a limited number of species which simplifies the study of interactions.

Answer:

1. That they were completely isolated, That the wolves never hunted the moose, That they didn't suffer from inbreeding, There was just one giant pack whose alpha controlled all the wolves
2. The growing wolf population, Climate change
3. Isle Royale has a relatively isolated ecosystem with a well - defined predator - prey relationship between wolves and moose. Also, it has a limited number of species which makes studying species interactions more straightforward.
