Chapter 27, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The meaning of the equation for population growth using the variables
Introduction:
The changes in a population number could be due to birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration. Birth and immigration lead to adding individuals in a population and death and emigration leads to decrease individuals from a population. A wide gap between the birth and death rate could lead to faster growth in the rate of population.

The growth rate of a population per unit of time is calculated by using this formula: G = r x N. What is the quantity r and how is it calculated?
The per capita birth (b) and death (d) rates are measured for two populations across a range of population sizes in the attached figure. The equation for exponential growth rate is dN/dt=rN where the per capita growth rate is r=(b-d). The equation for logistic population growth rate is dN/dt=rN(1-N/K). With logistic growth, r varies as a function of the population size with density-dependent birth and/or death rates. See attached image
If the death rate decreased, what would happen to the population trajectory for population A?
a) increase faster
b) increase slower
c) decrease faster
d) decrease slower
When does the growth rate of a population following the logistic model equal zero?the logistic model is given as dN/dt = rN (1-N/K)

In recent years, the number of wolves has dwindled, leaving few predators for the moose. This has led to a large increase in the moose population on the island. The following information is from 2018. Using this information and the equation shown, the growth rate for the moose population on Isle Royale can be calculated. Based on the current population and the growth rate, what type of growth model would be expected? K = 2,000 moose N = 1,500 moose Rmax = 0.5 where: dt = change in time N=population size ax =maximum per capita growth rate of population K= carrying capacity A logistical growth model would best represent this population because the moose population will decrease over time.
