Kudu Scenario
Kudu are an antelope species found in easterm and southerm Africa. Male kuou have dramatically spiraled
homs, which makes them a target of trophy hunters. Begin by setting up the following parameters: k= 100, r=
0.26, N, = 10. Use the gear icon to adjust the min & max values of N, and k to 2 and 200, respectively. Set
the max value oft to 50.
25. At what time ("T value) do kudu populations reach their carrying capacity, given these parameters?
28. What happens to the growth rate of a kudu population as it gets closer and closer to its carrying
сарacity?
27. What sorts of environmental changes might cause k to increase in this environment? What might
cause k to decrease?
28. Trophy hunters move into the area, leading to an increased death rate, which decreases the growth
rate rto 0.13. Exolain how this change will impact the population growth patten. [Hint Look at when
the population now reaches its carrying capacity, given this decrease in r. Compare your original curve…

The relationship between predator and prey populations has been studied by computer simulation using equations which form part of a mathematical model devised by Lotka and Volterra. The data in Table 6.10 show the results of such a simulation when the prey population begins with 20 individuals and the predator population begins with six individuals.
1.Explain why the peaks in the predator population occur after those in the prey population.
2. This simulation assumes one prey species and one predator species in an imaginary ecosystem and is based on mathematical equations. Why is it likely to be too simplistic to describe accurately what happens in nature?

If you adjust each of the four constants, one at a time, by 10%, which seems to have the greatest impact on the simulation output? Examine the Lotka-Volterra equations to explain by this constant makes such a big difference in the predator-prey system. Hint: This constant affects both the birth rate of predators and the death rate of prey.

Two closely-related species overlap at the southern edge of the range for species A, and the northern edge of the range for species B. Both species consume the same prey, but differ in their preferred prey size. Researchers collected individuals from the part of each species’ range where they do not overlap. They compared the consumption of prey across a range of prey sizes for these individuals in experiments where they were grown alone (solid lines) and compared this to when the species were grown together (dashed lines). Their results are in the attached figure.
Over evolutionary time, how will the fundamental niche for prey size differ for each species in the part of the range where the species overlap? Why?

You collect 200 leaves in total of which 100 leaves contain one mine, 20 leaves contain 2 mines and 30 leaves contain 3 mines. After close examination with your hand lens and dissecting microscope you categorize a total of 15 mines with round holes, 9 mines that were torn open and 27 mines with an irregular hole. After some basic analyses you conclude that the predation rates by blue tits and wasps are:
