Keep trying, Tom.
The paper you just cited was published in spring 2003, which means
that the data was probaby gathered in 2002. OTOH, the article you cited earlier was published in June 2003, which means that its data was probably more current. Since the population was decreased by 75%, it is reasonable to think that each number was correct **at the time the data was gathered**. But when you're making CLAIMS about those numbers, it is more honest to use the most current numbers available -- and that appears to be 500, not 1000.
