A wildlife preserve currently has 30 elephants. If the population grows as expected, the population will double every 30 years. Determine how many it should take number of elephant in preserve to reach 80.
A population of bats exhibits logistic growth. The carrying capacity is 600 bats and the maximum per capita Growth rate (rmax) is 0.20. The population size was determined periodically. Determine the population growth rates based on a population size of 50, 100, 200, 350, 480, 500, 525, and 600 bats. Include up to three decimal places in your answers.
The world population reached seven billion in 2011. At current growth rate, it is expected to reach eight billion by 2024 and nine billion by 2037. However, many projections predict that the world population will level off at around 9 billion individuals. Why is the world population expected to level off?

- Figure 19.6 If the major food source of seals declines due to pollution or overfishing, which of the following would likely occur? a. The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, as would the seal population. b. The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, but the seal population would remain the same. c. The number of seal deaths would increase, but the number of births would also increase, so the population size would remain the same. d.

- * This is a made up animal. Could dispersion be a population characteristic for the following animal. Their specialized energy consumption (diet) needs to undergo multiple energy transfers with considerable energy losses (radiant energy to aquatic animals) to support their species. is a slow-moving carnivore with a duck bill, flippers, a long neck, and a short range of motion. Is slow and awkward, with no fangs, claws, or nails. While this species is a mammal, it also has the ability to lay eggs as a part of its reproductive cycle. However, a female Jacks can only lay one egg every 5 months. Unlike similar freshwater semi-aquatic mammal species, the beaver, the Platyoth, doesn’t build itself a home or nest instead, it roams. At night, the Jack will locate riparian sedges to hide for sleep.arrow_forwardIn 2010, 150 coyotes (Canis latrans) were counted in Pierce County, WA.

- Salt is notoriously dangerous to land snails; however, some populations of aquatic, freshwater snail have brackish (or a mix of salt and fresh water) water adaptations and live in different parts of a river system. A group of scientists monitored salt concentrations in the habitats of two freshwater snail populations located nearby and recorded the data as follows (in ppt, parts per thousand): Population 1 (Day 1): 0.1 ppt (morning), 0.0 ppt (afternoon), 0.1 ppt (evening) Population 2 (Day 1): 0.3 ppt (morning), 0.5 ppt (afternoon), 0.2 ppt (evening) In 3–5 sentences, 1) describe how these results show why the brackish water adaptation may be necessary, and 2) explain how to determine whether the inherited adaptation is influenced by environmental factors.arrow_forwardIn April, a population of frogs in a local ravine has a population of 42, which was increased in May by 263 tadpoles.
