Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Describe at least three other limiting factors (other than the number of predators or prey) that can affect population sizes. What effect does each of these limiting factors have on the populations?The mark-recapture method is used to estimate the population size of mountain yellow-legged frogs in the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California. 100 frogs are captured and marked. A week later, 50 frogs are captured, and 10 of them are marked. The total population size isIs the wolf population controlled by density or density-independent factors? Explain using one piece of information from the reading to support your choice. You should use those supports to back up your choice, that is, how did this piece of support lead you to your answer.
- 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?Name two density-dependent and two densityindependent factors that can limit the size of a population.If models that display population growth ignored age structure how would this limit their value for predicting furture population size? Reference to either lx or mx.
- What effect does such a bottleneck have on the future population? Give a brief description of its effect on the size, ability to reproduce, and genetic diversity.Would you classify these species as weak, moderate, or strong competitors? Explain. Think about population density. Compute the population density if necessary.A difference in survival and reproduction among members of a population that vary in one or more traits is called ________.
- Describe the logistic model of population growth give the characteristics of species that follow this model of population growthContrast the selective pressures operating in high-density populations (those near the carrying capacity, K ) versus low-density populations.In populations of many organisms there is an inverse relationship between the density of individuals (number per area) and the average size of the individuals. True or False?
