**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?

Identify examples of evidence that a population has a size that is density dependent. The number of progeny per adult decreases as population density increases. A population's resources and potential mates are insufficient for all individuals. A population is devastated by extremely cold temperatures every few years. The maximum population limit increases as population density decreases.

On the mystical island of Lumina, researchers discover the elusive Glowfinch, a bird with radiant feathers that glow in the dark. During a mark-recapture study, 50 Glowfinches are marked with luminescent bands and released. In the second capture, 100 Glowfinches are caught, and 20 of them are found to still shimmer brightly. What is the estimated population size (N) of Glowfinches on Lumina? 0160 250 500 130 O100 200 13

Imagine two houses that are infested with house mice. In House 1, the mice have a frequency of the “curly coat allele” of 0.7. In House 2, the frequency of that allele is 0.4. Each house contains a population of 40 mice. There are regularly 5 migrants from each house to the other every generation. what is m for House 1? what will the expected frequency of the curly coat allele be in the next genration of House 2? Is evolution occuring in these populations? How do you know?
The allee effect is the population growth principle that describes how; Populations that are densely grow more quickly than those that aren't Populations routinely exceed their carrying capacity for long periods of time Small populations may for a short time grow faster as more individuals are added Small populations have a greater biotic potential than large populations
The example of the Heath Hen provides which of the following important lesson for managing small populations - Genetic drift is more powerful in small populations and can lead a species to extinction - Understanding the factors that make a population small are more important than the factors that ultimately drive it to extinction - Intensive management is successful for bringing back species from the brink of extinction - Allee effects can make managing a small population very difficult
