The eastern barred bandicoot is a highly threatened marsupial in Australia. Assume a generation time of 1.5 and an effective/adult ratio of 0.135. B: What is the minimum population size of adults that should be established and maintained to ensure that genetic diversity is not lowered by more than 10% over the next 50 years? A: If we know that the carrying capacity of the habitat allows for a maximum population size of 125/hectare; how many hectares of habitat need to be available to support the minimum population size from A?
Population Growth
R and K Selection
R and K selection are concepts in ecology used to describe traits in the fluctuation of a population or population dynamics. For example, they describe the life-association traits between parent and offspring, such as quantity or number of young ones born at a time, quality of parental care, the age to maturity, and reproductive effort.
