Summary Introduction
To determine: The growth curve under the condition: r > 0, N = K
Introduction: The growth curve is referred to as graphical representation which shows the growth of a population with time. There are a different type of growth curves such as logistic growth curve, exponential growth curve, and linear growth curve.

Optional Exercise
Barn Owls produce 2 pellets per day. Assume each pellet contains 80g of biomass. Also assume that one 40g vole can cause
50 cents of crop damage to a farm per season. If a Barn Owl family of seven (2 adults and 5 young) lives on a farm for 12 weeks
and feeds entirely on voles, how much will the farmer save in crop damages?
You monitor the white-tailed deer population for the Wright State campus and woods and estimate 14 deer in the first year and 21 deer
in the second year.
(A) Assume the deer population is growing geometrically. Based on these data, what is geometric growth rate constant (A)?
(B) Geometric growth patterns can also be modeled exponentially. If modeled exponentially, would you expect the exponential growth
rate constant () to be greater than, less than, or equal to 0? Why?
You monitor the deer population for many years. The population grows for a few more years, then seems to stabilize around 75 deer.
(C) Given this information, what would be a more appropriate model for the deer population growth? Why?
(D) What factors might be limiting the population growth? Would these factors be considered density-dependent or density-
independent factors? Why?
it is equal to zero.

Will your estimate be too high or too low in each of the following situations? 1. some animals lose their mark 2. marked animals have higher death rates 3. marked animals hide 4. marked animals are sluggish 5. immigration occursarrow_forwardKudu Scenario Kudu are an antelope species found in easterm and southerm Africa. Male kuou have dramatically spiraled homs, which makes them a target of trophy hunters. Begin by setting up the following parameters: k= 100, r= 0.26, N, = 10. Use the gear icon to adjust the min & max values of N, and k to 2 and 200, respectively. Set the max value oft to 50. 25. At what time ("T value) do kudu populations reach their carrying capacity, given these parameters? 28. What happens to the growth rate of a kudu population as it gets closer and closer to its carrying сарacity? 27. What sorts of environmental changes might cause k to increase in this environment? What might cause k to decrease? 28. Trophy hunters move into the area, leading to an increased death rate, which decreases the growth rate rto 0.13. Exolain how this change will impact the population growth patten. [Hint Look at when the population now reaches its carrying capacity, given this decrease in r.
