Question

4. Assume two populations are competing for a shared limiting resource. Population N, has a carrying capacity of 2000 and Population N2 has a carrying capacity of 750. The alpha value is 2 and the beta value is 0.5. If N, starts at a size of 1000 individuals, and N2 starts at a size of 400 individuals, which population will eventually outcompete the other? Attach a graph of the zero growth isoclines for both populations.

Answer 1

4)Ans - population are competing for same resource.they will exert negative growth effect on each other,also see attached file.

4) Ans! - given - No has carrying capacity (K) = 2000 - 12 has carrying capacity (K2) - 750. - a E per competitive effect of sp. 2 on sp. 1) = 2. B (per competitive effect q spit on sp.2) 2015. suppose, from given starts; N, 21000 & N2=400 then; population of Ni has intraspecific competition; so population 2 will compete with population 1 also by Lotka-voltera model; kyky then it E NT) sp. 2 wins. by graph, N2 ta LN Both sp. et Can grow only population 2 can grow
