Figure 45.16 Age structure diagrams for rapidly growing, slow growing, and stable populations are shown in stages 1 through 3. What type of population change do you think stage 4 represents?
If population growth is assumed to be density dependent in all four populations, what will happen to these populations sometime after generation 10? 1. Population size will grow monotonically. 2. Rate of population growth will decrease. 3. Rate of population growth will remain the same. 4. All populations will follow the curve of population
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
A population that grew in close relation to the amount of resources available in the environment, would experience A. exponential growth, such as shown on the J-shaped curve B. logistic growth, such as shown on the S-shaped curve C. unpredictable growth, such as shown on the ?-shaped curve D.logistic growth, such as shown on the J-shaped curve E. exponential growth, such as shown on the S-shaped curve
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

The change in population size for Canada in 2015 was an increase of 272 990. In the same year, the number of births was 392 902, the number of deaths was 269 012, and the immigration number was 271 660.What was the number of people who emigrated from Canada in 2015? Select one: a. 147 770 b. 122 560 c. 217 264 d. 125 220
By now, you must have already learned a lot about POPULATION DYNAMICS. How will you know that the population size increased/decreased? What are the indicators for the increase/decrease? What factors are known to be responsible for the increase/decrease? Give as many as you can think of.
