Introduction:
The carrying capacity can be defined as the maximum number of the organism that can be supported by the resources present in a certain environment. All the physical factors such as temperature, food availability, presence of gases in environment and the amount of waste determine the carrying capacity.

In a habitat there are 7,500 individuals of P. rufipes, 40% of which have long and thin ovipositors and 60% have short and thick ovipositors. During a single year 250 wasps with long and thin ovipositors died while 325 were born. In that same year, 650 wasps with short, thick ovipositors were born and 800 died. Calculate the per capita growth rate (r) of the two subpopulations of P. rufipes.
Per capita growth rate of P. rufipes with long and thin ovipositors: _________
Per capita growth rate of P. rufipes with short and thin ovipositors: _________

- The Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is endemic to China and was first identified in the United States in 2014 in Pennsylvania. It was found in New York in 2020. According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) it poses a significant threat to our agricultural industry, negatively impacts outdoor recreation, and may impact forest health. Draw a graph of how you expect this population to grow in New York State given that there are few predators and ample fruit trees and other host trees (see more information on the USDA page).
