Analyze the graphs below. Which growth model (exponential or logis- tic) would apply to a population of squirrels arriving on a new island? Assume the squirrels have no way to leave. Answer the following questions: 1. Which growth model (exponential or logistic) fits the squirrel scenario? 2. Why did you choose this growth model?
