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

The per capita birth (b) and death (d) rates are measured for two populations across a range of population sizes in the attached figure. The equation for exponential growth rate is dN/dt=rN where the per capita growth rate is r=(b-d). The equation for logistic population growth rate is dN/dt=rN(1-N/K). With logistic growth, r varies as a function of the population size with density-dependent birth and/or death rates.
