An ecologist estimated that there were 1500 individuals in a population of geese. Over the year, 120 birds were born, and 40 birds died. If 200 birds joined this population from a different area and 130 birds moved to a different population, what is the percent change in this population. 1% decrease 0.1% increase 10% decrease 1% increase 10% increase

Which of the following populations would be growing? a) Geometric rate (1) = 0.63 b) Exponential growth rate (r) = 0.63 c) Net reproductive rate (R0) = 0.63 d) All of the above populations are growing
How does the study of population ecology help us understand why some populations grow, some remain stable, and others decline? a.) Why has human population growth, which increased exponentially for centuries, started to decline in the past few decades? b.) What is carrying capacity? Do you think carrying capacity applies to people as well as to other organisms? Why or why not?
Use the information provided: population experiences density-dependent growth K or carrying capacity is 180 r = 0.032 individual/month 1. Calculate how many bugs are added to the population next month when population size is 65? 2. Now keeping the condition of density dependent growth, let's change some numbers: K=270 and r=0.13. If the current population is 125 bugs, how large will the population be in 12 months?

However, 10 rabbits die, and five leave the population during the same time frame. What is the population change for that year? a. 30 b. No change c. 15 d. 25 e. 10
A starting population has 150 animals. During the year, 50 animals are born and 30 die. Ten animals immigrate into the population, and 5 emigrate. Which represents the change in population size at the end of the year? r = 1.8 ΔN = 20 ΔN = 50 ΔN = 25 r = 0.33
several years ago wolves were reintroduced in to a national park in North Carolina. Researchers have monitored the populations over the last several years and the per capita growth rate of the population is.5. If the current population size is 100, what equation would you use to determine how large he population will be in ten yearS? N/t *r N(1+r)^t (N*r)/t please highlight the answer
An ecologist studied how many kangaroo rats could be supported in two different habitats, a high‐quality habitat and a low‐quality habitat. The ecologist estimated the per capita benefit in each habitat, or patch, as the number of individuals increased. How many individuals must move to the high‐quality patch before an individual moves to the low‑quality patch? Find Number of individuals? Number of individuals High-quality patch per capita benefit Low-quality patch per capita benefit 1 10.0 5.0 2 7.9 4.3 3 6.5 3.7 4 5.4 3.2 5 4.5 2.9 6 3.9 2.6 7 3.4 2.4 8 3.0 2.2 9 2.7 2.0 10 2.4 1.9
