3. African Wild Dog Transfer Part 1 (lesson 6)

1

Scientist want to bring some African wild dogs to a reserve in Malawi South Africa

1

African wild dogs live in packs of 7 to _______

1

2

Sketch a graph that shows what you predict should happen to a single pack of wild dogs over 10 years if there were enough resources for all the dogs to survive and the death rate was very low. Sketch your graph assuming the population started at 10.

2

How does this graph compare to the graph you drew in number 7

3

What are the likely reasons for the increases (ups) in the population. Give TWO reasons.

3

What are the likely reasons for the decreases (downs) in the population at some times of the year? Give TWO REASONS

1

For the next three questions, you will be identifying potential limiting factors. You will need to identify THREE different limiting factors. For each factor you need to make a prediction on how the limiting factors will effect or impact the African Wild Dog Population or

3

State the first potential limiting factor AND make a prediction on how the limiting factor will effect the African wild dog population. BE SURE TO MENTION IF THE POPULATION WILL INCREASE OR DECREASE

3

State the second potential limiting factor AND make a prediction on how the limiting factor will effect the African wild dog population.

3

State the third potential limiting factor AND make a prediction on how the limiting factor will effect the African wild dog population.

5

While scientists did not establish a clear relationship between territory size and pack size, they determined that there is a minimum territory size required to establish a new pack. Use evidence from the graph to propose a minimum territory size for the reserve in Malawi.

Sentence Starter:
The minimum territory size for the reserve is ...

My evidence from the graph is...

1

What type of relationship would exist between the prey and the African wild dogs if the prey is a limiting factor for African wild dog pack size

3

Using this graph, explain what relationship, if any, you see between prey biomass and pack size?

1

In the reserve in Malawi, how much prey biomass should there be to establish a new pack? Explain your answer.

Sentence starter:
To establish a new pack you need the prey biomass to be at least .....

I know this because...

8

Write a claim about the effects of lions on where wild dogs live. Use evidence from the table to support your claim and give a reason.

Possible Claims:
a. Wild dogs and lions prefer the same habitat

b. Wild dogs and lions prefer different habitats

c. Wild dogs do not seem to prefer one way or another if their habitat is the same or different than the lions.

You need at least 2 pieces of evidence from the table. Be sure to provide a reason.
