**Population Dynamics of Escaped Rabbits**A pair of breeding rabbits escaped from their cage behind a farmer’s barn. Over ten years, the farmer recorded data on their population size. The rabbits, along with their offspring, reproduced multiple times within a fenced, undisturbed two-acre area. This space had a limited supply of grass and water and housed predators such as hawks and snakes. The farmer illustrated the data he gathered over this period using population growth graphs.**Graphs of Population Growth:**- **Graph A:** Shows a logistic growth curve where the population size increases rapidly at first and then levels off as it reaches the carrying capacity of the environment.- **Graph B:** Illustrates a population that increases steadily over time but does not show signs of leveling off.- **Graph C:** Depicts exponential growth, where the population size grows rapidly without any apparent limit.- **Graph D:** Displays fluctuating population growth, with periods of increase followed by declines.- **Graph E:** This graph is noted as incorrect for the context provided.**Analysis:**The graph that best represents the rabbit population growth is likely to be Graph A, due to the constraints of limited resources and predator presence, which would lead to a logistic growth pattern reaching the carrying capacity of the environment.**Additional Note:**Use the survivorship curve graph to answer questions 19-20 for extra credit.

18. A breeding pair of rabbits escaped from their cage behind a farmer's barn. The farmer observed the rabbits and kept data on their population size for ten years. During this time, the rabbits reproduced and their offspring reproduced many times. The fenced, undisturbed two acres where the rabbits live support populations of predators, such as hawks and snakes, as well as a limited supply of grass and water. At the end of the ten years, the farmer graphed the data he collected. Which of the following graphs would its population growth look like? Don't pick E, you're welcome.

You study a population of mussels recently introduced to a section of the Rideau River 9 years ago. You know that 20 mussels were originally let go in the river by a resident. These mussels have no predators. You know from your research that, under ideal conditions, the instantaneous rate of increase of this mussel species is 0.17. You also think the conditions on the river were ideal when the mussels were introduced. After surveying the food available in the river, you estimated that there is enough food to support a population of 12,700 mussels. How many mussels do expect to be in the river now?
Scenario 2In the year 2015, another group of scientists studied the squirrel coat color and found that the population of squirrels had increased. They found 850 squirrels in the same area, of which 115 had a red coat. Assume that the population is in Hardy Weinberg’s equilibrium. 4A. Show your work to identify how many of the 850 squirrels would be expected to be gray.

3. In 1940 there were 12 whooping cranes in the population. In 1945, five years after hunting whooping cranes was made illegal, ecologists calculated the whooping crane population growth rate (X) at 1.2 and estimated the population size to be 30 individuals. Using the population growth rate calculated from 1940-1945, what would be the estimated population size for whooping cranes 20 years into the future (1965)?

The competitive exclusion principle states that species that compete for the same resource in the same way: will end up with one eating the other to extinction. will have population numbers that cycle in response to one another. cannot coexist and one will outcompete the other. usually find a way to coexist.
