How does the r-strategy predict the reproductive rates of a population of organisms? Organisms reach reproductive age more slowly but have shorter life spans. Organisms reach reproductive age more slowly and have longer life spans. Organisms reach reproductive age faster and have shorter life spans. Organisms reach reproductive age faster and have longer life spans.
So far we have discussed changing environments affecting your species at risk. Changing environments can also have impacts on human health. Choose one environmental or societal change that has impacted human health. Explain the impacts and discuss any technological advances that can lessen the impact.

Populous nations such as China have instituted strict policies tocurb population growth. In 1979, China implemented a “one-child”policy.Do you think that such strict control methods are appropriatefor population control?
PLEASE HELP! 1. There is a population of 1,500 bunnies that have plenty of resources and space. Find the growth rate of the population in one year where 300 bunnies are born and 100 bunnies die that year. (assume no immigration or emigration) (show work) A.What is the growth rate? B. How many bunnies will be in the population to start the next year?
In many rural areas, stray cats are a problem as they may return to being wild feral cats that have not been spayed or neutered can reproduce, which may result in a population of feral cats. One pair of cats can produce 12 kittens in one year, and half of these kittens are female; this increased population would potentially produce 84 kittens in the second year. In 5-years, the population could reach almost 33000 feral cats. A) What conditions or factors would have to be in place for the population to achieve its biotic potential?
Which of the following is NOT an example of an r-selected population? Select one: a. Mosquito lifespan is between 42 and 56 days for females and 10 days for males. b. Minnows spawn 16 to 26 times per year, yielding up to 10 000 eggs per female. c. Houseflies are very tolerant of a wide range of environmental conditions and thus have a broad range of habitat. d. Algae are capable of reproducing asexually and sexually to take advantage on the conditions of the environment.
Pesticides can be used to control a variety of pests, such as insects, weeds, rodents, bacteria, fungi, etc. Over time many pesticides have gradually lost their effectiveness because pests have developed resistance – a significant decrease in sensitivity to a pesticide, which reduces the field performance of these pesticides. 2. Provide a specific example of populations, species, or situation where resistance is a problem. An internet search and citation is required.

Usually behave in ways that benefit each by providing each other with food, shelter, or some other resource c. tend to be shaped by coevolution more than r-selected species d. tend to reproduce later in life and have a small number of offspring with fairly long life spans e. have a capacity for a high rate of population increase

A long-term plan that involves monitoring the population over many years. Monitoring the costs of the program so that cost-effective analysis can be made. Monitoring other ecosystem elements beyond the released species, such as prey and vegetation.
