The figure shows the relationship between the growth rates (on a log scale) of individual fish and the similarity of the fish to their competitors. Assuming that populations with faster growth rates are more likely to have greater population growth, which principle or concept does the figure support? 4.0 3.9 E 3.8 3.7 -1.5 Least similar -1.0 -0.5 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 Most similar to competitors to competitors Morphological index OA. Competition is most intense when resources are scarce O B. Competition can result in character displacement OC. Competition is often asymmetrical O D. Competition can determine the local distributions of species O E. This figure shows no relationship about competition In (growth rate)

You are trying to estimate the population size of a school of fish in the Florida Keys. The first time, you sample and mark 37 sardines. The second time around, you capture 40 sardines and 13 of them were already marked. What is the estimated population size? Show your work!
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.
The lotka-volterra equation that describes rate of change in the predator population doesn't include intrisic rate for predators. How does it accomodate for growth in predators if the rate is missing?
The neighborhood of a lake has a population of snails, which come out onto the sidewalk when the sprinklers come on, and the rest of the time they hide in the vegetation. If you catch 20, and mark them and, then, a week later, after they have had a chance to disperse into the population, you catch 15, and 6 have marks on them, what is the estimated size of the population?
