A coyote population in Colorado has 40 individuals, the potential reproductive rate per individual per year is 1.5, and the carrying capacity of the area is 50 coyotes. In the same habitat, the bobcat population has 30 individuals, the potential reproductive rate per individual per year is 2, and the carrying capacity of the area is 100 bobcats. The bobcats depress population growth of coyotes through competition by 0.20, while the coyotes depress population growth of bobcats through competition by 1.1.
