Which of the following is true about the current research about forest fragmentation?

#Section 5: Applied Ecology & Evolution
  1. Fragmented forests support a greater biodiversity because they result in the combination of forest- edge species and forest interior species.
  2. Fragmented forests support a lesser biodiversity  because the  forested- adapted species leave,  and  only the edge and open- field species can occupy fragmented forests.
  3. Fragmented forests are the goal of conservation biologists who design wildlife preserves
  4. Harvesting timber that results in forest fragmentation results in less soil erosion.

In a past General Social Survey, a random sample of men and women answered the question “Are you a member of any sports clubs?” Based on the sample data, 95% confidence intervals for the population proportion who would answer “yes” are .13 to .19 for women and .247 to .33 for men. Based on these results, you can reasonably conclude that
