Draw on one graph, with N2 on the y-axis and N1 on the x-axis, the isoclines for the twocompetitors with the carrying capacities and competition coefficients listed below. Will thesespecies coexist? If not, which species will win? Competitor 1 Competitor 2 K1 = 200, α12 = 0.4 K2 = 400, α21 =1
Hyena carrying capacity in Mkomazi National Park is 500 (in the absence of competitors). Wild Dog carrying capacity in that park is 700 (in the absence of competitors). The addition of 1 wild dog to the park is equivalent to adding 2.5 hyena. The addition of 1 hyena to the park is equivalent to adding 0.4 wild dogs. Which of these species is the better competitor? Justify your answer quantitatively and illustrate your argument using an appropriate graph.
For the cricket, the intrinsic growth rate is 100 and the carrying capacity of the environment is 200,000 individuals. For the frog, the capture efficiency is 0.0002, the conversion efficiency is 0.1, the handling time per cricket is 0.2 hours, and the density-independent per capita death rate of the predator is 0.4. 18. At what value of the number of crickets is the predator population of frogs at equilibrium? 19. What is the dN/dt of the prey population when the number of frogs is 60 and the number of crickets is 11,000? Round to the nearest hundredth. 20.

The eastern barred bandicoot is a highly threatened marsupial in Australia. Assume a generation time of 1.5 and an effective/adult ratio of 0.135. B: What is the minimum population size of adults that should be established and maintained to ensure that genetic diversity is not lowered by more than 10% over the next 50 years? A: If we know that the carrying capacity of the habitat allows for a maximum population size of 125/hectare; how many hectares of habitat need to be available to support the minimum population size from A?
When r is a positive number, the population size is (a) stable (b) increasing (c) decreasing (d) either increasing or decreasing, depending on interference competition (e) either increasing or stable, depending on whether the species is semelparous
Which statement about zero population growth isoclines of two competing species is true? A. Species coexistence requires that the two isoclines cross. B. The crossing of the two isoclines is a sufficient condition for species coexistence. C. If the species coexist, they will each do so at a higher density than either would if placed alone. D. Strongly competing species can only coexist if the two species have very different carrying capacities. E. Coexistence will occur if the two isoclines are parallel.
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 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.
It's ecology, i need to draw a chart to solve this tho. Thank you! I'll leave a thumb up You are quantifying competition between two species of flour beetles. For species 1, K1 = 160 and α = 1. For species 2, K2 = 360 and b = 4. Suppose the initial population sizes are 180 of species 1 and 80 of species 2. Predict the short-term dynamics of each population and the final outcome of interspecific competition.
The relationship between predator and prey populations has been studied by computer simulation using equations which form part of a mathematical model devised by Lotka and Volterra. The data in Table 6.10 show the results of such a simulation when the prey population begins with 20 individuals and the predator population begins with six individuals. 1.Explain why the peaks in the predator population occur after those in the prey population. 2. This simulation assumes one prey species and one predator species in an imaginary ecosystem and is based on mathematical equations. Why is it likely to be too simplistic to describe accurately what happens in nature?
Two species have the same initial population size of 48.00, as well as rates of b = 0.83 and d = 0.66. However, species A reproduces seasonally and species B reproduces relatively continuously. How much bigger would the population of species B be after five years as compared to species A?
