Population growth and competition
A population of Drosophila melanogaster with 10,000 individuals and a carrying capacity of 20,000 follows the logistic growth equation. Suppose that 5,000 individuals of a competitor species, Drosophila simulans, are added to the population, and that this species has an a of 0.5. One would predict that this number of competitive individuals will decrease the D. melanogaster population growth rate by the same amount as the addition of _______ D. melanogaster individuals would.
a. 250
b. 500
c. 750
d. 1,000
e. 2,500

Quiz 5 Help Save & Exit Subrn The logistic growth model predicts that the growth rate of a population will decrease as the population size approaches the environment's carrying capacity. Under what circumstances would you predict that a population would increase in size over and above its carrying capacity? Multiple Choice When competition is high and there is a high frequency of disease and parasites When resources are declining more rapidly than reproduction is declining When high predation leads to...

A population of freshwater shrimp is being harvested for food. The population has an intrinsic growth rate of 0.043 and a carrying capacity of 50,000 individuals. A) If the shrimp population is 10,680 in 2019, what would we expect it to be in 2020? Assume that time is in years in the logistic population growth model. B) What is the maximum sustainable yield for the shrimp population under a fixed quota harvest? Please show your work.

Select the statements that explain why very small and very large populations experience slow population growth under the logistic growth model. 1- Small populations have fewer individuals capable of producing offspring. 2- Limited resources are shared among many individuals in very large populations. 3- The intrinsic growth rate is higher when populations contain many individuals. 4- The carrying capacity is larger for populations that contain very few individuals.
