Effective Population Size
Problem 2 - Find the number of breeding males in a population.
If the effective size of a given population is 1000 and the number of breeding females is a constant C, where 500 <C< 1000 is positive integer, what is the number of breeding males?

Nm = 996 C |
|
|
Nm = 1000 - 4C |
| E. |  |
| F. | Nm = 250 |
Problem 3- Describe what happens to a given population as the number of breeding females increase.
