Allen’s rule states that,

#Section 1: Ecology
  1. among closely related endothermic (warm-blooded) vertebrates, those living in colder environments tend to have shorter appendages than those living in warmer environments.
  2. High temperatures are also limiting for many plants and animals
  3. Many organisms cope with heat stress by producing increased amounts of heat shock proteins (HSPs).
  4. Those species in colder, arctic environments have shorter ears than those in temperate or hot desert environments

To estimate the number of foxes in an area, a researcher conducted a mark-recapture survey. In the first survey, he caught and marked N number of foxes. In his second survey a week later, he caught 120 foxes of which 90 were unmarked (recaptures). If you are told that the actual number of foxes in this area is 400, what is value of N in this area?
