The rabbit population consists of 50 organisms (at the beginning of the year) Which of the following is true about the rabbit population during this one-1 year period? O The rabbit population would increased by 35 rabbits during this year. The rabbit population would decrease by 35 rabbits during this year O There would be a total of 500 rabbits at the end of the year 500 rabbits were born during the year

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
The per capita birth (b) and death (d) rates are measured for two populations across a range of population sizes in the attached figure. The equation for exponential growth rate is dN/dt=rN where the per capita growth rate is r=(b-d). The equation for logistic population growth rate is dN/dt=rN(1-N/K). With logistic growth, r varies as a function of the population size with density-dependent birth and/or death rates. See attached image If the death rate decreased, what would happen to the population trajectory for population A? a) increase faster b) increase slower c) decrease faster d) decrease slower
What are the two key concepts for this section? Listthree variables that affect the growth and decline ofhuman populations. How can we calculate the population change of an area? Define the total fertilityrate (TFR). How has the global TFR changed since1955? Summarize the story of population growth inthe United States. List six changes in lifestyles thathave taken place in the United States during the 20thcentury, leading to a rise in per capita resource use.
The growth of a population of rare South American beetles is given by the logistic function with k = 0.00001 and t in months. Assume that there are 200 beetles initially and that the maximum population size is 10,000. a. Find the growth function G1t2 for these beetles. Find the population and rate of growth of the population after the following times. b. 6 months c. 3 years d. 7 years e. What happens to the rate of growth over time?
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
A population of a city reproduces at a rate of 3% per year and has a death rate of 1% per year. Assuming an initial population of 100 and no immigration and migration, what would be the population in 100 years?
If the population of 150 squirrels at UofL has 15 births this year, what is the per capita birth rate? - 0.1 squirrels/yr/squirrel If the population of 150 squirrels at UofL has 10 deaths this year, what is per capita death rate? - 0.067 squirrels/yr/squirrel Calculate the intrinsic rate of increase for this squirrel population, using your answers to the questions above. - 0.03 squirrels/yr/squirrel Between having plenty of shelter in the trees and scavenging through the campus garbage, UofL squirrels have seemingly unlimited resources. Using the information you've calculated so far, determine the growth increment for the coming year for the UofL squirrel population. - 4.5 squirrels/yr Let's say that, after you calculated your predictions for unlimited growth of the UofL squirrel populations in the questions above, a bad storm comes through campus and wipes out half the trees! Now, the growth of the population of squirrels becomes limited. There are still 150 squirrels, but the…
