There are many factors that can influence a population's growth. These can be classified as either density-dependent or density-independent factors. For each of the following, determine if they are a density-dependent or density-independent factor. Think before you drop - This is an all or nothing type of question.

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. See attached image If the death rate decreased, what would happen to the population trajectory for population A? a) increase faster b) increase slower c) decrease faster d) decrease slower
Since K = 0.5, the population we are studying is experiencing ________ growth due to density _______ factors. exponential; dependent exponential; independent logistic; dependent logistic; independent
Please help me to get aswers thank you Define and give an example of each of the following. You may use examples from the Human Population Growth A) Density-dependent control on human population growth B) Density-independent control on human population growth
It is estimated that approximately 20,000 grizzly bears live in Western Canada, Yukon, and Northwest Territories. Currently, there are 198 grizzly bears remaining in Jasper National Park in an area of 9500 km2. Calculate the density of the grizzly bear population in Jasper Park. Express your answer as a value rounded to two decimal places. Answer grizzly bears/km2
several years ago wolves were reintroduced in to a national park in North Carolina. Researchers have monitored the populations over the last several years and the per capita growth rate of the population is.5. If the current population size is 100, what equation would you use to determine how large he population will be in ten yearS? N/t *r N(1+r)^t (N*r)/t please highlight the answer
If the population of 150 squirrels at UofL has 15 births this year, what is the per capita birth rate? - 0.1 squirrels/yr/squirrel If the population of 150 squirrels at UofL has 10 deaths this year, what is per capita death rate? - 0.067 squirrels/yr/squirrel Calculate the intrinsic rate of increase for this squirrel population, using your answers to the questions above. - 0.03 squirrels/yr/squirrel Between having plenty of shelter in the trees and scavenging through the campus garbage, UofL squirrels have seemingly unlimited resources. Using the information you've calculated so far, determine the growth increment for the coming year for the UofL squirrel population. - 4.5 squirrels/yr Let's say that, after you calculated your predictions for unlimited growth of the UofL squirrel populations in the questions above, a bad storm comes through campus and wipes out half the trees! Now, the growth of the population of squirrels becomes limited. There are still 150 squirrels, but the…
If population growth is assumed to be density dependent in all four populations, what will happen to these populations sometime after generation 10? 1. Population size will grow monotonically. 2. Rate of population growth will decrease. 3. Rate of population growth will remain the same. 4. All populations will follow the curve of population
If a population has a constant r = 0.3 Group of answer choices the per capita rate of population increase continues to accelerate as the population grows the time necessary for population size to double gets shorter as time goes by since population size is increasing exponentially the absolute increase (change in population size per unit time) is also constant the time necessary for population size to double is also constant

What are the challenges posed by population growth? Please explain why it happens and how it affects the population
By now, you must have already learned a lot about POPULATION DYNAMICS. How will you know that the population size increased/decreased? What are the indicators for the increase/decrease? What factors are known to be responsible for the increase/decrease? Give as many as you can think of.
Give two examples of density-dependent and two examples of density-independent factors that can limit the growth of a population.
