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. The correct answer is not displayed for Written Response type questions. Hide Feedback (A) Check geometric growth…
