A Population of Foxes A breeding group of foxes is introduced into a protected are and exhibits logistic population growth. After t years, the number of foxes is given by N(t)=37.50.25+0.76t foxes. a. How many foxes were introduced into the protected area? b. Calculate N(5) and explain the meaning of the number you have calculated. c. Explain how the population varies with time. Include in your explanation the average rate of increase over the first 10-year period and the average rate of increase over the second 10-year period. d. Find the carrying capacity for foxes in the protected area. e. As we saw in the discussion of terminal velocity for a skydiver, the question of when the carrying capacity is reached may lead to an involved discussion. We ask the question differently. When is 99 of carrying capacity reached?
More on the Pacific Sardine This is a continuation of Example 5.1. In this exercise, we explore the Pacific sardine population further, using the model in Example 5.1. a. If the current level of the Pacific sardine population is 50,000 tons, how long will it take for the population to recover to the optimum growth level of 1.2milliontons? Suggestion: One way to solve this is to make a new logistic formula using K2.4, r0.338, and N(0)0.05. b. The value of r used in Example 5.1 ignores the effects of fishing. If fishing mortality is taken into account, then r drops to 0.215 per year with the carrying capacity still at 2.4milliontons. Answer the question in part a using this lower value of r. Note: The population estimate of 50,000 tons and the adjusted value of r are given in the paper by Murphy see footnote 3 on page 347. Murphy points out that factoring in the growth of the competing anchovy population makes the recovery times even longer, and he adds. "It is disconcerting to realize how slowly the population will recover to its level of maximum productivity ... even if fishing stops." Studies to fit a logistic model to the Pacific sardine population have yielded. N=241+239e0.338t where t is measured in years and N is measured in millions of tons of fish. Part 1 What is r for the Pacific sardine? Part 2 According to the logistic model, in the absence of limiting factors, what would be the annual percentage growth rate for the Pacific sardine? Part 3 What is the environmental carrying capacity K? Part 4 What is the optimum yield level? Part 5 Make a graph of N versus t. Part 6 At what time t should the population he harvested? Part 7 What portion of the graph is concave up? What portion is concave down?

Growth Rate Versus Weight Ecologists have studied how a populations intrinsic exponential growth rate r is related to the body weight W for herbivorous mammals. In table 5.2, W is the adult weight measured in pounds, and r is growth rate per year. Animal Weight W r Short-tailed vole 0.07 4.56 Norway rat 0.7 3.91 Rue deer 55 0.23 White-tailed deer 165 0.55 American elk 595 0.27 African elephant 8160 0.06 Find a formula that models r as a power function of W, and draw a graph of this function.
