- In logistic growth, large values of r (e.g., >3) can cause the population size to stay greater than K for multiple generations briefly exceed K but then stabilize at K thereafter never increase beyond the initial number fluctuate chaotically gradually approach K and then stabilize at K thereafterarrow_forward1. In an attempt to save a rare endangered species, a number of zoos agree to begin a breeding program. A single pair of endangered species is expected to successfully rear an average of nine offspring per year, all of which survive to maturity (i.e., 4.5 per parent per generation). (A) Use the appropriate equation to calculate the number of individuals in the population after eight years.arrow_forward1)Questions related to population dynamics look at which aspect of a population? a)The factors that determine the maximum population size that can be supported in an environment b)How diseases are transmitted through a population c)How the genetics of a population change over time d)How & why population size changes over time e)How the number of species in an environment changes over timearrow_forward
- 1.In wildlife management, population numbers must be sustainable in that populations cannot exceed the environment’s ability to support them. Using the ∆N formula, consider the following: Coyotes are members of the Canis family, or dog family, that wanders natural or agricultural grasslands and temperate forest in search of rodents and small prey. Occasionally they will form packs to bring down a larger animal – perhaps a young, sick, or old deer. In this scenario, assume population numbers of coyotes have increased dramatically. a.Using your knowledge of the ∆N formula, provide four possible causes for this dramatic increase in population. b.Assume you are a wildlife manager and that the high coyote population is resulting in more human/coyote interactions. Steps need to be taken to correct the imbalance in coyotes. Provide two ecologically sound solutions to the problem.arrow_forward1.
