Based on the data, what is the estimated carrying capacity for the population and what factor may have led to a change in data at day three? A. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of increased pressure from a limiting factor, such as unfavorable temperature. B. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 188 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of decreased pressure from limiting factors, such as more food being available. C. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 167 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of increased pressure from a limiting factor such as reduction of food available. D. The estimated carrying capacity is approximately 167 thousand. The population may have decreased during day three because of decreased pressure from a limiting factor such as reduction of predators eating the…
The carrying capacity of the environment with respect to any population is the maximum number of individuals that can be supported. What do you think are the carrying capacities for these species’ populations? Draw horizontal lines on the graph indicating this for each species’ population. Adjust your figure legend.

Calculate the rate of population change for a hypothetical population of wildebeest using the logistics equation and carrying capacity equation. How can you explain these results? N = 500, r = 0.1, K = 1000, calculate dN/dt.
The carrying capacity (K) is the maximum population size that can be supported or sustained by a given environment. Which of the following statements about the carrying capacity is NOT true? Select one: a. We can think of K as some "average" value that a given environment can support. b. Environmental fluctuations cause the carrying capacity to fluctuate over time. c. Once a population reaches its carrying capacity, the size of the population remains constant. d. When a population overshoots K, individuals die due to lack of resources.

Human beings, like other K-selected species live close to carrying capacity and usually have logistic growth rates. However, population growth for humans has exhibited exponential growth for over the last 350 years (since the Industrial Revolution). Which of the following can explain this phenomenon? Select one: a. Humans have been able to achieve their biotic potential. b. Humans have increased environmental resistance by limiting density-dependent factors c. Humans have been able to continually increase their carrying capacity. d. Humans have decreased environmental resistance by increasing density-independent limiting factors.
Use the information provided: population experiences density-dependent growth K or carrying capacity is 180 r = 0.032 individual/month 1. Calculate how many bugs are added to the population next month when population size is 65? 2. Now keeping the condition of density dependent growth, let's change some numbers: K=270 and r=0.13. If the current population is 125 bugs, how large will the population be in 12 months?
