Question
Chapter 54, Problem 2IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The increase in the population of smaller or larger size species under resource abundance.
Introduction: Population density is the number of a specific type of individuals living in a specified area for a given period of time. The population density can be calculated for plants, microbes, humans, domestic animals, and others.

RECOVERING KEY SPECIES FOR ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION
ANSWER in ONE-TWO Sentence(s).
1. What is the significance of the topic
2. What conservation methods do you observe or implemented by the researchers in conducting study?
3. What further observations that are seems LACKING that you can recommend?
Q10. An ecologist wants to know if diversity in a forest system is likely to decrease when an invasive species
is introduced. This invasive species is a fast-growing annual plant that grows on oak trees and kills them.
The invasive species can only survive on living oak trees. The ecologist has the original model from this lab
and another version of the model which includes transitions that involve the invasive species.
To answer the research question, the ecologist should compare species diversity generated by the original
model to diversity generated by which model described below?
A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to
grass.
A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to
oak.
A model in which the invasive has a positive transition rate to oak and oak has a positive transition to grass.

- Need help with questions 1 and 2 please: 1.) A population of beetles is introduced into an environment where conditions are ideal allowing the beet population to reach its biotic potential for many generations. This population of beetles shows A.) logistic growth B.) linear growth C.) per capita growth D.) exponential growth 2.) Biotic potential is the highest possible per capita growth rate for a population. Which of the following would limit the biotic potential of an organism ? A.) many offspring per reproductive cycle B.) many reproductive cycles in a life span C.) limited resources D.) a high percentage of offspring surviving long enough to reproducearrow_forwardI need help with this question pleasearrow_forwardDetermine if each statement is correct or incorrect: 1. Ecosystems with fewer numbers of species tend to be less stable. 2. Increasing numbers of species lead to more redundancy which is bad for the ecosystem. 3. More species mean more niche separation. 4. Species with a low resistance will also have low resilience. 5. Disturbances to ecosystems can be both naturally occurring and human caused. 6. Stresses to ecosystems are useful for removing weaker species and ensuring the strongest survive. 7. Bringing non-native species into an area to increase biodiversity makes the ecosystem more stable.arrow_forward
