- Use the information provided: population experiences density-dependent growth K or carrying capacity is 180 r = 0.032 individual/month 1. Calculate how many bugs are added to the population next month when population size is 65? 2. Now keeping the condition of density dependent growth, let's change some numbers: K=270 and r=0.13.
