Parasitic infections

A parasite is an organism that lives in the body of another organism and obtains food at the expense of the host. There are two kinds of parasites they are internal and external. An internal parasite lives inside another organism and is known as endoparasite. An external parasite lives on the body surface of the host and is known as an ectoparasite.

Question

**Wildlife Population Dynamics**

**3. A population of 1,492 Baltimore Orioles**

A population of 1,492 Baltimore Orioles is introduced to an area of Nerstrand woods. Over the next year, the Orioles show a death rate of 0.395 while the population drops to 1,134. What’s the birth rate for this population? Is this proving to be a suitable habitat?

**4. Turkey Population Dynamics in Merriam Township**

780 turkeys live in Merriam township, which is 92 acres in size. The birth rate is 0.472 turkeys/year. The death rate is 0.331 turkeys/year.

a. **What is the population density?**

b. **What is dN/dt?**

c. **Predict N after one year, assuming dN/dt stays constant.**

**5. Dandelion Population Growth**

One dandelion plant can produce many seeds, leading to a high growth rate for dandelion populations. If a population of dandelions is currently 40 individuals, and r_max = 80 dandelions/month, predict dN/dt if these dandelions would grow exponentially.

**6. Logistic Growth in Dandelions**

Imagine the dandelions mentioned in #5 cannot grow exponentially, due to lack of space. The carrying capacity for their patch of lawn is 70 dandelions. What is their dN/dt in this logistic growth situation?

In 2017, 16 bison were released into Elk Island National Park. Within the next five years, 42 more bison will be released into the 1,200 km2 area. During the study period, it is expected that 45 calves will be born and 13 bison will die or be removed from the study area. What is the expected per capita growth rate of the bison population during this study period? Express your answer rounded to two decimal places. If the population is decreasing indicate this with a negative sign.
In 2010, 150 coyotes (Canis latrans) were counted in Pierce County, WA. The population was surveyed again in 2017 and it was up to 250 individuals. The population growth rate is 14 coyotes per year. What is the population growth rate at carrying capacity?
A coyote population in Colorado has 40 individuals, the potential reproductive rate per individual per year is 1.5, and the carrying capacity of the area is 50 coyotes. In the same habitat, the bobcat population has 30 individuals, the potential reproductive rate per individual per year is 2, and the carrying capacity of the area is 100 bobcats. The bobcats depress population growth of coyotes through competition by 0.20, while the coyotes depress population growth of bobcats through competition by 1.1. What will the population size be for coyotes next year? *Note that this is the other half of the bobcat question, and you need to round your answer to a whole animal. 40 5 45 16 55
Direction: Analyze the situation and tell what limiting factor is being described. Choose in the box below the type of limiting factors. Mortality Natality Emigration Immigration Situation Limiting Factor 1. Every year, there's an increase in the population of migratory birds in Candava. Pampanga. 2. The increase of the population of frogs during rainy days. 3. Russian population decline due to Covid-19 effect. 4. Decrease in the population of birds when they move to another place due to unfavorable weather conditions. 5. The population in the Philippines increases due to teenage pregnancy.
In a forest in India, there are 800 axis deer and 500 barking deer. The forest can support a maximum of 1,200 barking deer. The competition coefficient of barking deer on the axis deer is 0.25, and the competition coefficient of the reverse pair is 0.5. The intrinsic growth rate of barking deer is 2.0. Based on the Lotka-Volterra model, the population growth rate for barking deer is 416.67 Now, let's see if the two species can coexist in this forest. You are provided with some additional information: the carrying capacity of axis deer is 4,000. Determine if the two species can coexist.

Over the years, the winter coloration (the color of the rabbit's fur) of the surviving rabbit population changed. The graph shows the change in winter coloration of rabbits between 185 to 2000. Based on the data, we could hypothesize that A) the winters are longer in length. B) the snowshoe rabbit has migrated to another area. the amount of snow cover varied over the years. D) more snowshoe rabbit predators have moved into Manitoba. % Population
In 2010, 150 coyotes (Canis latrans) were counted in Pierce County, WA. And the growth rate is 14 coyortes per year. Following a survey of the community, the social carrying capacity of coyotes was around 500 individuals. How long will it take for the coyote population to reach this human tolerance goal? Biologists have estimated the biological carrying capacity for coyotes in the county to be 1000 individuals. How long will it be before the population reaches carrying capacity using exponential growth? Would it take more or less time for the population to reach carrying capacity if using logistic growth equation and assumptions?

Trumpeter swans were once widespread and abundant in North America. However, a combination of heavy hunting pressure and habitat lost drastically 4 reduced the species’ population down to less than 70 individuals in the wild by the mid-1930s. By the mid-1980s, Trumpeter swans were more prevalent again in Alberta, especially near Grande Prairie. The following graph depicts the estimated number of Trumpeter swans in Alberta, carried out at five-year intervals from 1985 to 2010. What growth pattern of the Trumpeter swan population in Alberta is being observed? What environmental conditions allow the growth pattern that you identified? What may cause the growth pattern that is being observed to change?
