In April, a population of frogs in a local ravine has a population of 42, which was increased in May by 263 tadpoles. Pesticide runoff killed 26 tadpoles and predators consumed eight frogs. In July, construction workers began clearing the ravine and ran over 12 frogs. Calculate the population growth rate of the frogs in the ravine from April to August

The common carp is an non-native fish species in North America. A few individuals are introduced into a lake near Ottawa, where they experience no predation or competition from native fishes. What kind of growth the population of carp is expected to follow in the first few years following its introduction. Logistic Exponential Logarithmic Linear
A population of 200 bass released in a lake began growing at a rate of 100 fish/yr. A second assessment performed at a later date found that there were 400 fish and the population was growing at a rate of 160 fish/yr. (Assume logistic growth dynamics.) Estimate the equilibrium population size if fish are harvested at the MSY
A wildlife preserve currently has 30 elephants. If the population grows as expected, the population will double every 30 years. Determine how many it should take number of elephant in preserve to reach 80.
A population of 8000 bison has an annual per capita birth rate of 0.07 and an annual per capita death rate of 0.04. Estimate the total number of individuals in the population after one year of time has passed.
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
What is the relationship between population density and available resources? exponentially proportional There is no relationship. directly proportional inversely proportional
Water wisteria is an aquatic plant that is easy to care for and reproduces very quickly. A small man-made pond of 350 L contains 78 water wisteria plants. 15 new plants are introduced daily to the pond, while 50 plants are taken out once a week to be sold at local pet shops. a. What is the overall population change in a two-week period? Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number. Answer b. What is the population density of water wisteria at the beginning? Express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places. Answer plants/L
Biologists have chosen a particular species to populate a small island. They have introduced a number of the species that constitutes 25 percent of the population that the island is capable of supporting. If the growth rate of the species is 11 percent, find what percentage of the maximum the particular species population will be on the island in three years.
