Movement and Population Genetics: Metapopulation models focus on the BIDE (birth, immigration, death, emigration) dynamics, colonization and extirpation. Explain how these relate to genetic bottlenecks, and explain why metapopulation models have a hard time predicting such events? Why is the island biogeography model a strong example of metapopulation dynamics?
. Draw a species accumulation curve for the beetles in Area C3, based on the data shown in Table 2. Ensure that you calculate a standard deviation around each average number of species per sample; plot this on this figure. Make sure you label the axes and that you provide a legend. You will need to reassemble the samples in all possible combinations in order to derive the species area curve (provided)

INTERPRET DATA Examine the top and middle graphs in Figure 54-5. Are these examples of exponential or logistic population growth? Where is K in each graph? (You may need to refer to Chapter 53 to answer these questions.) RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The top and middle graphs show how each species of Paramecium flourishes when grown alone. The bottom graph shows how they grow together, in competition with each other. In a mixed culture, P. aurelia outcompetes P. caudatum, resulting in competitive exclusion. SOURCE: Adapted from G.F. Gause, The Struggle for Existence (Williams and Wilkins, Baltimore, 1934). Figure 54-5 G.F. Gauses classic experiment on interspecific competition
