Textbook Question
Chapter 25.3, Problem 3TC
Consider the graph shown in Figure E25-2. Imagine that the population of one particular endangered species has declined at the same rate each year, and that the rate of decline was equal to the estimated average rate for endangered species. If the initial population of this species included 1,000 individuals, what would its

A population that did not grow in close relation to the amount of resources available in the environment, and dramatically overshot the carrying capacity, would experience:
A. logistic growth, such as shown on the S-shaped curve
B. exponential growth, such as shown on the J-shaped curve
C. unpredictable growth, such as shown on the ?-shaped curve
D. exponential growth, such as shown on the S-shaped curve
E.logistic growth, such as shown on the J-shaped curve
Explain the difference between logistic and exponential population growth. What do these growth curves look like. Which represents human population growth over the last few thousand years?
How does the study of population ecology help us understand why some populations grow, some remain stable and others decline?
The human population has grown as we have increased our global carrying capacity. In your opinion, can the global carrying capacity continue to increase/ Explain your answer?
Why has human population growth, which increased exponentially for centuries, started to decline in the past few decades?
