The purpose of the experiment is to study how_____(IV) affects the _______(DV). Explain the background of the experiment and briefly describe the procedure. When explaining the background of the experiment, you are giving an overview of limiting factors. You should include evidence found in the background of information in the lab. Be sure to include examples of limiting factors, explain how limiting factors affect carrying capacity of a population. When describing the procedure be sure to include a summary of the steps used to gather the data.

Trial Limiting factor How did the limiting factor affect the population growth? With low migration rate, the number of fishes in locality decreases and finding a mate would be difficult so breeding will take 1 Migration (low) Migration (high) High migration results in a drastic decrease in the number of fishes in the locality. As a result, other fishes enter the fish population. 3 Predators (many) The population growth curve dropped down and stayed at zero population for a long time between 11 years. There may be Predators (none) Tuna populations increased exponentially. The growth curve of these populations becomes steeper as time passes. Food (little) During the past years, due to little food, the growth of the tuna fish population decreased. A dotted line on the population Food (abundant) Tuna growth followed a normal growth curve until it reached year 14. In fourteen years, the population stats declined, and by Disease/Pollution Population growth can be slowed or stopped by diseases and pollution. Pollution and disease are present during trial 5. 41 6,

Female cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) are especially fertile, able to give birth to seven litters a year. While this would suggest areas with cottontail rabbits would be overrun by them, this isn't the case. Rabbit populations are restricted by factors like food availability and predation. Due to these limiting factors the rabbit population will only get so big and that is it's carrying capacity. Carrying capacity can fluctuate depending on the limiting factors. If there is more predation or little food, then the carrying capacity will be lower. If there is little predation and abundant food, then the carrying capacity will be higher because the ecosystem can support a larger population.
