Both the reading and lecture are about a type of marine mammal species which lived in the coast of Siberia and also was known as Staller’s sea cow. The mentioned population was extinct in 1768. The reading provides three reasons as factors which contributed with this extinction and then supports them. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article and finds all arguments dubious.
First of all, the author of reading declares that there is a possibility that native people of Siberia may have hunted this poor population of sea cow since a sea cow was a nutrient source of food. This point is challenged by the professor and he points out that it should be noted that aforementioned native people were not populous and then he elaborates on this by mentioning that sea cow was a huge creature and a couple of sea cows was enough for several months; hence, the Siberian people did not need to hunt all of them.
Secondly, the article contends that a shift in ecosystem may have affected environment; therefore the kelp population which was the main resource of food for sea cows, declined in such a harsh condition; consequently, the reduction of kelp had negative impacts on these marine mammals; in contrast, the lecturer refutes this hypothesis and expresses that if the mentioned change was very serious; subsequently, the population of other marine animals had to reduce such as whales; however, any document has not been reported by fishers in related to decline of whales. Thus, the population of kelp was stable and the sea cows did not confront shortage of food.
Finally, the reading passage states that European fur traders may have entered to Siberia and since they had weapon, so they could kill a large number of sea cows. This argument is rebutted by the lecturer again and he poses that when European traders came to the Siberia island, the Staller population had started dwindling formerly-from one hundred years ago.
