By 1935, hunting and trapping had eliminated wolves from the continental United States. Since their protection as an endangered species, wolves have moved south from Canada and have become reestablished in the Rocky Mountains and northern Great Lakes region.

We estimate the size of a population of small mice in a particular filed by the mark-recapture method. Our estimate is 350. Later we learned from experiments on the behavior of these mice that they can locate a baited trap faster if they have already been rewarded with food by visiting that trap once before. Does this mean that

How might you use a radioactive isotope to find out whether the oxygen in CO2 comes from sugar or oxygen gas? Animals obtain energy through a series of chemical reactions in which sugar (C6H12O6) and oxygen gas (O2) are reactants. This process produces water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) as waste products. How might you use
