Gotelli discusses how environmental stochasticity influences extinction, arguing that a scaling relationship between the mean and variance of population growth rate (r) determine extinction risk. What is the scaling relationship? О а. Environmental stochasticity doesn't influence extinction risk O b. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is double the mean С. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is greater than the mean squared d. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is greater than the mean е. Extinction will occur if the variance in r goes to 0
