Q6.4. You are studying a population of wild coyotes and notice that every three years there is anepidemic of a bacterial disease. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for thisperiodic cycling of the disease?New coyotes, which are susceptible to the disease, are continuously born into the population.Coyotes are dying from other causes over time.During an outbreak, the proportion of coyotes who are infected slowly falls as they recover.Coyotes from other opulations who have already been infected and recovered from the diseaseimmigrate into the study population.Submit

Q2.12. Bacteria grown in a lab experience what is called an 'exponential phase' of population growth. Suppose that, during this phase, a colony of Mycobacterium tuberculosis you are growing has a per capita growth rate, r, of 0.063 per hour. If the size of your colony at the start of the exponential phase is 0.25 billion cells, then approximately how large will it be in 48 hours? ?? billion cells
16- A population's carrying capacity ____. a- increases as per capita growth rate (r) decreases b- decreases as per capita growth rate (r) decreases c- can never be exceeded d- may change as environmental conditions change 17- According to the logistic growth equation ________. a- the instantaneous per capita growth rate (rinst) increases as N approaches K. b- population growth is zero when N equals K. c- the population grows exponentially when K is small. d- population growth is maximized when N equals K.
39. Mites are common pests on individual fence lizards. Mites are observed to bite fence lizards to draw a blood meal, which increases mite population growth rates. Fence lizards respond by scratching their heads to remove mites. The population growth rate of fence lizards is not impacted by this interaction although it appears to be negative for the fence lizards that have mites. What is the best explanation to account for the population growth pattern in fence lizards. a. the interaction is a +, - interaction b. the interaction is at the organism level c. the interaction is a altruism d. the interaction is at the population level e. the interaction is a mutualism

Chapter 12: Population Dynamics over Time Why do populations fluctuate around the carrying capacity rather than staying smooth as suggested by the logistic growth model? How is this related to growth rate and generation time? Explain how delayed density dependence is related to timing of resources and reproduction. Explain on demographic stochasticity and environmental stochasticity are connected to small population sizes and the Allee effect? What is a metapopulation? Explain source and sink models and stepping stone models. How is a metapopulation’s size and isolation related to extinction and colonization rates?

16. Changes in habitat are a major threat for native species and can lead to species loss. A habitat change that is harmful is: habitat decommission, or the breaking up of several larger habitats into smaller pieces of habitat, even if they are well connected. habitat heterogeneity, or the diversity of a habitat in physical make-up. All of the choices are true. habitat degradation, or the decreased value of a habitat used by species.
Speculate upon the calculation shown in the table and Graph; Briefly explain: a)Do the cohort survivorship curves from each decade different from one another? If so, what might have caused the differences? b)Were the population growing while the cohort was extant? c)How would the data have been altered if Woodland Cemetery had stopped excepting interments in 1950 rather than being open to the present day? d) One problem with studying survivorship curves is that a birth cohort must be followed through until the death of the last individual. How would the shape of a 1960's cohort survivorship curve be altered from those of the 1800's?
