Using the lynx–hare interaction, explain in words the equations of the Lotka–Volterra model for the change in the population sizes of prey and predators.
The carrying capacity of the environment with respect to any population is the maximum number of individuals that can be supported. What do you think are the carrying capacities for these species’ populations? Draw horizontal lines on the graph indicating this for each species’ population. Adjust your figure legend.
For the cricket, the intrinsic growth rate is 100 and the carrying capacity of the environment is 200,000 individuals. For the frog, the capture efficiency is 0.0002, the conversion efficiency is 0.1, the handling time per cricket is 0.2 hours, and the density-independent per capita death rate of the predator is 0.4. 18. At what value of the number of crickets is the predator population of frogs at equilibrium? 19. What is the dN/dt of the prey population when the number of frogs is 60 and the number of crickets is 11,000? Round to the nearest hundredth. 20.

You are studying a density - dependent turtle population that has the following relationships for the birth rate b’ and the death rate d’ as a function of population size (N) : b’ = 0.10 + 0.03 N - 0.0005 N ^2 d’ = 0.20 + 0.01 N Plot these functions in the same graph and discuss the population dynamics of the turtle. How does this model differ from the simple logistic model with linear birth and death functions?
