A few plant-eating salamanders manage to float on a log to a large island in the Pacific that did not have any other salamander species previously. The salamanders find the island has abundant plants for food and no predators. On average, a salamander has four offspring per year and lives for one year. Refer to the equation for the logistic growth model if you were modeling salamnder population growth with this logistic growth equation, during the first few years, a) N<K b) N=K c) N>K d) there is no relationship between N and K
