**Metapopulation Dynamics and Logistic Growth**The ecologist Richard Levins realized that metapopulation dynamics amongst subpopulations are analogous to logistic growth for individuals within a single population. The analogy is summarized in this table:| **Logistic Growth** | **Metapopulation Dynamics** ||---------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|| **Unit of interest:** | Individuals in a population | | | Patches in a region that can host subpopulations || **Model describes change in:** | Number of individuals, N || | Proportion of patches that are occupied, P || **Limit to growth:** | Carrying capacity, K || | All patches being occupied, P = 1 |**Q4.7.** If 6 out of 10 patches have salamanders in them, what is the patch occupancy, P?

What does the logistic growth equation describe? Multiple Choice A population that crashes after very rapid, nearly exponential growth. A population that is increasing in size, but never reaches its carrying capacity. A population that is declining in size and with further time may become extinct. A population that grows steadily the population is small and more as it approaches the carrying capacity.
Vicuña are ungulate herbivores related to llamas that occupy high mountain grasslands in the Andes. They are valued for their wool. Overhunting led to global population declines from millions in the 1500s to thousands in the mid 1900s.Lauca National Park was established in Chile in 1970 and banned hunting of vicuña. Researchers used census data (solid circles) to fit the population dynamics, and evaluated two models: one in which the carrying capacity was fixed over time (“Logistic Constant K”, dashed line), and one in which the carrying capacity could vary over time (“Logistic Variable K”, solid line). See attached image The researchers found that rainfall ~4 years prior was a good predictor of the population size of vicuña in a given year. Is rainfall four years before 1990 likely to be lower than average or higher than average? Why?
Two species have the same initial population size of 48.00, as well as rates of b = 0.83 and d = 0.66. However, species A reproduces seasonally and species B reproduces relatively continuously. How much bigger would the population of species B be after five years as compared to species A?
I’m not quite sure which answer would describe the graph can you please help?
Draw a graph showing the growth of the species’ populations with time: put all species’ populations on a single figure. Extend the y-axis to 180. Label the axes and provide a suitable legend.
Suppose you model the interaction between elephants and acacias using a simple Lotka-Voterra predation model, where N is the number of A. depranolobium trees, and P = number of elephants. 5. According to the model, under what conditions would the elephants increase in population size? Group of answer choices At any point when the acacia tree population is greater than m/ba. At any point when the elephant population is greater than r/a. Only when the acacia tree population is less than its isocline. At any point when the elephant population is greater than the acacia tree isocline.
The population is an important unit in ecology as well as other biological sciences. How is a population defined, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of this definition? Are there some species that at certain times or places are not in populations?
Beetle populations is shown in the graph. Explain why these interpretations are not as reliable as the data itself.

7) The following data has been obtained from the coastal haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) fishery of Maine. The fishing season was divided into 10 periods. Period Catch per Period 1 208 2 195 3 168 4 132 5 91 6 80 7 63 8 56 9 48 10 33 It was also recorded that five fishing trawlers were in operation during each period of the fishing season. Question: What was the size of the haddock population originally available to the fishery?
