Summary Introduction

To determine: The finite rate of increase in a population of female butterfly after a year.

Introduction: The finite rate of increase in a population is the ratio of size of population from one year to the next year. It is represented as λ. Some ecologists use finite rate of increase instead of net productive rate to predict the population growth.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The population of female butterfly after five year.

Introduction: The finite rate of increase in a population is the ratio of size of population from one year to the next year. It is represented as λ. Some ecologists use finite rate of increase instead of net productive rate to predict the population growth.
