2.) Suppose that the carrying capacity of a second island is about 500, and the growth rate of a typical Common Gallinule population is around 0.18 when the population size is very small. The time that it takes to reach one-half of K is about 12 years. What will the population size be 15, 20, and 25 years after initial introduction of a few individuals to this island?
2. All but one species of large birds native to New Zealand's tropical forests are now extinct. Numbers of the one surviving species, the kereru (Hemiphaga novae- seelandiae), are declining rapidly due to habitat loss, poaching, predation, and interspecies competition that wiped out the other native birds. The keruru is the only n. ne remaining dispersal agent on for several native trees that produce big seeds and fruits, th mainly because it is the only remain- ing species that can swallow big fruits (left) and expel big ops seeds whole. One of these trees, the puriri (Vitex lucens), is New Zealand's most valued hardwood. Explain, in terms of natural selection, what would happen to puriri trees in New Zealand if the kereru becomes extinct. ower

39. Mites are common pests on individual fence lizards. Mites are observed to bite fence lizards to draw a blood meal, which increases mite population growth rates. Fence lizards respond by scratching their heads to remove mites. The population growth rate of fence lizards is not impacted by this interaction although it appears to be negative for the fence lizards that have mites. What is the best explanation to account for the population growth pattern in fence lizards. a. the interaction is a +, - interaction b. the interaction is at the organism level c. the interaction is a altruism d. the interaction is at the population level e. the interaction is a mutualism
