Communities and Ecosystems

Ecology contains two words: Eikos means dwelling, and logy means to study, so the combined meaning is studying habitat or living.

Question

What is the relationship
between environmental
resistance and the population
growth according to the biotic
potential curve and the real
population growth curve?

Video Video

Expert Solution

Step 1

Environmental resistance is a sum of environmental factors such as minerals, drought, competition and deficiencies that tend to oppose the biotic potential of a population and limits the increase in population (population growth).

These data were collected over a 5-year period for a perennial compass plant. What is the rate of growth of the population if the carrying capacity is 1000 (using 202 for starting population size)? What is the fastest rate of growth possible for this population?
Describe the growth at various parts of the S-shaped curve of logistic growth.
What does s-shaped pattern of population growth represent?How is T-shaped pattern different from it and why?
In the logistic growth equation the highest instantaneous population growth rate (dN/dt) is reached When the population is smallest, because then intraspecific competion and thereby resource limitation is weakest When the population is near K, because the largest population still growing has the highest growth rate, as it has the highest number of reproducing adults When the population is in the middle between zero and K (N = K/2) because then the trade-off between still having modest negative effects of intraspecific competition on growth rate but having a relatively high population size of individuals that could be reproducing is optimal
Given 0.463 net reproduction per capita and a carrying capacity of 373 of a nature reserve , if 52 individuals are introduced into this nature reserve in 2011 for the first time, when will the population size reach 306 individuals?
An invasive ant species has invaded the dairy bush. This species is known to cause considerable damage to mature trees. The population dynamics are given from a 1 square meter quadrat sample for the years 2007-2011 (see above). Make a table like the one above and fill in the missing values. Graph a population curve for the invasive ant population (x-axis year; y-axis final population size at the end of each year) and for each of the following statements, indicate whether it is True or False. (Enter 1 for True and 2 for False) There is no problem with this invasion because ants could not cause any ecological damage in a woodlot. If this population does not reach carrying capacity, there will be over 1000 invasive ants in the 1m square quadrat in 2016 (10 years of population growth). The population of invasive ants is at carrying capacity in the woodlot ecosystem. The population of invasive ants is NOT at carrying capacity in the…

In a temperate grassland ecosystem, to tal primary production was 12,740 g/m/yr. Annual net secondary pro duction by the herbivorous insect community was 320.5 g/m2/yr. Total net tertiary production by spiders was 22.6 g/m/yr. Is productivity biomass-based or productivity-based?
in 2021, the growth rate of the human population was 1.03% per year with a thencurrent population of 7.875 billion people. Assuming a carrying capacity of 15 billionindividuals,when will the population reach 14.5 billion (i.e., nearly carrying capacity)?
In a forest in India, there are 800 axis deer and 500 barking deer. The forest can support a maximum of 1,200 barking deer. The competition coefficient of barking deer on the axis deer is 0.25, and the competition coefficient of the reverse pair is 0.5. The intrinsic growth rate of barking deer is 2.0. Based on the Lotka-Volterra model, the population growth rate for barking deer is 416.67 Now, let's see if the two species can coexist in this forest. You are provided with some additional information: the carrying capacity of axis deer is 4,000. Determine if the two species can coexist.
