Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The mean number of progenies that a woman produces during her life span is called thenet reproductive rate (R0)

. The reproductive rate is calculated by the given formula:

R0=lxmx

Where,

R0 = net reproductive rate,

S = sum of all age class,

lx = age-specific survivorship and

mx = age-specific fertility.

If population growth is assumed to be density dependent in all four populations, what will happen to these populations sometime after generation 10?   1. Population size will grow monotonically.   2. Rate of population growth will decrease.   3. Rate of population growth will remain the same.   4. All populations will follow the curve of population
The discrete logistic function (the one you can solve with your calculator) has a time lag built in = one              generation.  What would a greater time lag do to the outcome? increase the chances of population exceeding K         decrease the chances of population exceeding K slow down population growth by decreasing r            increase population growth by increasing r it would have little/no effect under all circumstances
By now, you must have already learned a lot about POPULATION DYNAMICS. How will you know that the population size increased/decreased? What are the indicators for the increase/decrease? What factors are known to be responsible for the increase/decrease? Give as many as you can think of.
