The Chicken or the Egg Worksheet Find the differences in population growth resulting from two gull control methods. Assumptions Remova Adult Birds Method: No Control Romovo Nests and Eggs Basic Population Enter 20 Nesting Pairs = 10 Adults = (2) (#nesting pairs) = Total # eggs = (#eggs per nest) Nesting Pairs = 10 Nesting Pairs = 10 (#nesting pairs) = 30 JEggs per Nest = 3 Potential Population = 50 Survival of Adults = 90% Survival of Young Birds = S0% Eggs per Nest = 3 Eggs per Nest = 3 Survival of Adults =90% Survival of Adults =50% Survival of Young Birds = 50% Survival of Young Birds = 10% Enter the values from the information above and perform the calculations. No Control Remove Adult Birds Remove Nests and Eggs Surviving Adults = (% survival) (#nesting pairs)(2) Surviving Chicks =(% survivalX"eggs per nest)(#nesting pairs) Surviving Population = Surviving Adults + Surviving Chicks (90)(10)(2) = 18 _(.50)(3)(10) = 1s 18 + 15 = 33
