Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason why it is useful for society to know the number of 10-, 30- and 80-year-olds, in a population.
Introduction:
There could be different number of individuals in different age groups. Individuals in each age group will have different physical capabilities and needs.

Of the males who survive to reproduce, let's say that males with the Ho+Ho+ and Ho+Hop
genotype have on average 2.5 offspring, while HopHop males have on average 1 offspring.
Taking into account both survival and reproduction, how many offspring do you expect
each of the three male genotypes to contribute to the total population in the next
generation?

If the population of 150 squirrels at UofL has 15 births this year, what is the per capita birth rate?
- 0.1 squirrels/yr/squirrel
If the population of 150 squirrels at UofL has 10 deaths this year, what is per capita death rate?
- 0.067 squirrels/yr/squirrel
Calculate the intrinsic rate of increase for this squirrel population, using your answers to the questions above.
- 0.03 squirrels/yr/squirrel
Between having plenty of shelter in the trees and scavenging through the campus garbage, UofL squirrels have seemingly unlimited resources. Using the information you've calculated so far, determine the growth increment for the coming year for the UofL squirrel population.
- 4.5 squirrels/yr
Let's say that, after you calculated your predictions for unlimited growth of the UofL squirrel populations in the questions above, a bad storm comes through campus and wipes out half the trees! Now, the growth of the population of squirrels becomes limited. There are still 150 squirrels, but the…
What is the relationship between the population's surviving members and the environment? and what role do genetics play in population change?
