Compare/contrast K and r - selected species. Discuss their population growth curves.
Describe how each of the limiting factors in the simulation affected population growth and carrying capacity(migration, predation, food, disease, and pollution). Include a reason why you think the limiting factor affected the population growth in this way.
Compare the advantages and disadvantages to a species that result from exponential or logistic growth. Why do you think hares have evolved to reproduce as rapidly as possible, while lynx appear to have intrinsic or social growth limits?

- INTERPRET DATA Examine the top and middle graphs in Figure 54-5. Are these examples of exponential or logistic population growth? Where is K in each graph? (You may need to refer to Chapter 53 to answer these questions.) RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The top and middle graphs show how each species of Paramecium flourishes when grown alone. The bottom graph shows how they grow together, in competition with each other. In a mixed culture, P. aurelia outcompetes P. caudatum, resulting in competitive exclusion. SOURCE: Adapted from G.F. Gause, The Struggle for Existence (Williams and Wilkins, Baltimore, 1934). Figure 54-5 G.F. Gauses classic experiment on interspecific competitionarrow_forwardBased upon r or Ro, is the population growing, declining, or stable? How often do we get a new generation of fish? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardCapturing and relocating is stressful for animals. In the zebra example, what are the stages of reintroduction, and what purpose does each step serve? Why is the buffalo considered a success story for reintroduction? (And -- based on what you know from lecture, what type of population growth pattern does this indicate?) Park managers use the term “adaptive management”; what do you think this means, and what are two benefits of this approach to managing ecosystems?arrow_forward
