Trang 1Whether an individual survives from one year to the next will
largely be a matter of chance Some pairs may produce several young in a single year while others may produce none in that same year Small populations will fluctuate enormously because
of the random nature of birth and death and these chance
fluctuations can cause species extinctions even if, on
average, the population size should increase Taking only this uncertainty of ability to reproduce into account, extinction
is unlikely if the number of individuals in a population is above about 50 and the population is growing.B Small
populations cannot avoid a certain amount of inbreeding This
is particularly true if there is a very small number of one sex For example, if there are only 20 individuals of a
species and only one is a male, all future individuals in the species must be descended from that one male For most animal species such individuals are less likely to survive and
reproduce Inbreeding increases the chance of extinction.C Variation within a species is the raw material upon which natural selection acts Without genetic variability a species lacks the capacity to evolve and cannot adapt to changes in its environment or to new predators and new diseases The loss
of genetic diversity associated with reductions in population size will contribute to the likelihood of extinction.D Recent research has shown that other factors need to be considered Australia’s environment fluctuates enormously from year to year These fluctuations add yet another degree of uncertainty
to the survival of many species Catastrophes such as fire, flood, drought or epidemic may reduce population sizes to a small fraction of their average level When allowance is made for these two additional elements of uncertainty the
population size necessary to be confident of persistence for a few hundred years may increase to several thousand.An imblance

officials and graziers agreed that one well-maintained fence, placed on the outer rim of sheep country and paid for by taxes levied on woolgrowers, should supplant the maze of private
