What effect would you expectgrowing the population at a higher temperature (but not so hot as to bedamaging) to have on the pattern of population growth?The population would reach carrying capacity more slowly (lower r).Carrying capacity would be increased.The population would become a source rather than sinkThe population would reach carrying capacity faster (higher r).The population would transition from logistic to exponential growth.

INTERPRET DATA Examine the top and middle graphs in Figure 54-5. Are these examples of exponential or logistic population growth? Where is K in each graph? (You may need to refer to Chapter 53 to answer these questions.) RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The top and middle graphs show how each species of Paramecium flourishes when grown alone. The bottom graph shows how they grow together, in competition with each other. In a mixed culture, P. aurelia outcompetes P. caudatum, resulting in competitive exclusion. SOURCE: Adapted from G.F. Gause, The Struggle for Existence (Williams and Wilkins, Baltimore, 1934). Figure 54-5 G.F. Gauses classic experiment on interspecific competition
The figure below illustrates the thermal performance curve for the intrinsic rate of increase (r) of an Aphid insect. Imagine you are studying a population that was historically exposed to 25C during the breeding season, yet climate-change predictions suggest that the population will be exposed to an average of 32C by the end of the 21st century. Select the changes below that you predict could at least partially mediate the consequences of climate change for population growth. Hint: First think about how the climate change described will and will not challenge homeostasis. Next, recall some of our earlier modules that talked about how animals can alter behavior, physiology, etc to maintain homeostasis. Select the answers that could allow the animals to maintain homeostasis given the scenario. a) Do nothing (i.e. no changes) b) Evolve a larger body size with smaller surface-area to volume ratio c) Disperse to lower elevation habitats d) Disperse to higher elevation habitats…
There are two types of life strategies used by organisms to survive in their environment. 1. K-selected strategy - growth rate is near the carrying capacity 2. r-selected strategy - growth rate is near biotic potential Match the characteristices below to the life strategy they represent J-cruve Logistic Growth Long life span Few offspring
Of these choices, which best describes an organism's niche? Question 10 options: The set of conditions under which Libeg's law no longer applies The area/conditions where all of its physiological tolerance ranges overlap None of these are even close. The places it could live after a few generations of adaptation All of the locations where actual and potential evapotranspiration are equal.

Old People e = 100 calories λ = 10 per night h = 2 hours Middle Aged People e = 400 calories λ = 20 per night h = 5 hours Young Adults e = 300 calories λ = 10 per night h = 2.5 hours Suppose that the organism need 1000 calories per night. - Which food item should the organism prefer, and which ones would you expect them to eat on a regular basis? Explain why and show calculations. - Explain marginal value theorem, and how it might relate to an organisms foraging decisions. - λ for Old People should increase in the coming years. How could that affect this organisms feeding on humans?

A mess of 40 iguanas moved to a new island which is so large that the carrying capacity is essentially non-existent. The growth rate for these island iguanas was 0.6 and they have a generation time of 2 years. How many iguanas do you expect to find on the island after 6 years? (Show your work. Round your final answer to the nearest whole iguana and clearly indicate your final answer).
For each of the species appearing in the food web, identify its domain, its kingdom and its role in the food web (producer, consumer 1st order, 2nd order, 3rd order, decomposer). You can do this under tabular form if desired. If certain trophic levels are missing from the diagram, identify them and specify their role. 2. Which population of food web organisms is associated with the highest level of available energy? Briefly explain your reasoning 3. Using a concrete example, make a link between this food web and the biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen 4. Briefly explain how the harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) contributes to the stability of this food web. Your answer must include at least three (3) different types of interactions, intra or interspecific. 5. What keeps the population size of gulls stable if this species has no predators
