Summary Introduction

To describe:

The meaning of the equation for population growth using the variables G,r,andN.

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.

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)
You monitor the white-tailed deer population for the Wright State campus and woods and estimate 14 deer in the first year and 21 deer in the second year. (A) Assume the deer population is growing geometrically. Based on these data, what is geometric growth rate constant (A)? (B) Geometric growth patterns can also be modeled exponentially. If modeled exponentially, would you expect the exponential growth rate constant () to be greater than, less than, or equal to 0? Why? You monitor the deer population for many years. The population grows for a few more years, then seems to stabilize around 75 deer. (C) Given this information, what would be a more appropriate model for the deer population growth? Why? (D) What factors might be limiting the population growth? Would these factors be considered density-dependent or density- independent factors? Why? it is equal to zero. The correct answer is not displayed for Written Response type questions. Hide Feedback (A) Check geometric growth…
