Chapter 54, Problem 4Q
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The per capita growth rate (r) of population based on previous calculations.
Given:
Reproductive rate,
Introduction:
Per capita growth rate involves the number of birth and death that occurs in a population. If reproductive rate (R0) and generation time (G) of a population are known then per capita growth rate (r) can be calculated.
