Question

A population with three life-stages separated by 3 years is modelled by a Leslie matrix, resulting in these predictions.  The x-axis shows the number of time steps in the vector dynamics from the Leslie matrix multiplication.

How many years before the long-term dynamics take over? 

a) 0

b) 2

c) 5

d) 15   

What is the long term prediction for this population? 

a) decreases to zero

b) anything could happen

c) increases to infinity

d) stable

If the population started with many more animals and in different proportions from each life stage, would the prediction be the same or different?     

If the population started with many more animals and in different proportions from each life stage, in the long term dynamics what would be the ratio of newborns (stage 1)  to youths (stage 2) to adults (stage 3).

a) about 1 to 1 to 1

b) about 4 to 2 to 1

c) about 6 to 3 to 1

d) no way to judge
