1. A population of black-capped chickadees grows continuously with a constant per capita growth rate. It took 2 years to grow from 400 individuals to the current population of 3000 individuals. How long will it take to grow from 3000 to 12,000? Write your answer in the box below. No credit will be given for your answers unless you show your work. Place your final answer in the box below. time to grow from 3000 to 12,000 =
40 beavers moved to a new place which is so large that the carrying capacity is essentially non- existent. The growth rate for these beavers was 0.6 and they have a generation time of 2 years. How many beavers do you expect to find in that place after 6 years?
A particular specie of animal has a carrying capacity of K and a growth rate of r. From an initial population of N0, what will be its population after a very long time? Show your calculations.
Back at the original iguana population, only 40 iguanas remained. This population also has a growth rate of 0.6 and generation time of 2 years. But the island on which this population resides is much smaller and has a carrying capacity of 200. How many iguanas do you expect to find in the original population after 6 years?
You will need to complete this question on a separate piece of paper. Scan or take a picture of it and upload the answer. Suppose you have a population of bats growing according to the logistic equation. If the carrying capacity is 400 bats, Demonstrate at which population sizes in relation to K will the population have - a positive growth, negative growth or stable growth. A Create a graph of dN/dt vs N (be sure to label the axes) for this (ii) - Use arrows to population of bats. Indicate on the graph - (i)- k, indicate when the instantaneous rate of change the highest and when is it stable (be sure to label the arrows). B . Provide a brief explanation for why your graph looks the way C that it does.
Miss L is bored in the summer, so she wants to estimate the population of weeds on her property. The property measures 20 m x 20 m. She randomly places ten 1 m x 1 m quadrats on her property as shown in the diagram below. What is the estimated population size? Only write the numerical value.
The three types of curves are also described as: early loss, late loss, and constant loss. Propose an organism that would have a Type 2 curve. Defend your choice by describing this animal's life pattern using the data and growth curve as a guide. (If you are really stuck, use google to look up survivorship curves)
Back at the original beaver population, only 40 beavers remained. This population also has a growth rate of 0.6 and generation time of 2 years. But the place on which this population resides is much smaller and has a carrying capacity of 200. How many beavers do you expect to find in the original population after 6 years?
A population grows according to the logistic model N = 55 1 + 0.9e−1.4t , where t is measured in years and N is measured in thousands. (a) What is r for this population? per year(b) What is the environmental carrying capacity K? thousand(c) This population is subject to harvesting. What is the optimum yield level? thousand
Analyze the graphs below. Which growth model (exponential or logis- tic) would apply to a population of squirrels arriving on a new island? Assume the squirrels have no way to leave. Answer the following questions: 1. Which growth model (exponential or logistic) fits the squirrel scenario? 2. Why did you choose this growth model? (think about the difference between the 2 types) Exponential Growth Logistic Growth Carrying capacity Time Time
The rate of plant growth on an island near Isle Royale is such that the carrying capacity of moose on the island is 450. Currently there are 450 moose present. The environment is stable and free of wolves. One day, 200 additional moose arrive on the island. What is the expected number of moose on the island 30 years later, assuming conditions do not change?
