We finished analyzing our real data from wild sheep herds in Montana. Wednesday, scientific teams of students presented their analysis of their particular herd. Each group had something to offer and teach the other five groups. Concepts involved: carrying capacity, minimum viable population, habitat, gestation, grazing allotment, subspecies, and more. Students discussed topics dealing with how: extreme natural weather conditions impact herds, vehicle traffic through herd areas, current pnemonia outbreaks and what is causing them, how wildfire and their suppression impact herds, management challenges, and more. Today we get to see what the scientists and wildlife managers of the herds thought about the data.
