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. 250b. 500c. 750d. 1,000e. 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...

9. The rate of change of y is proportional to y. A given business is losing market, therefore the monthly sales are plunging exponentially. At month 3 the sales were 4 (million) dollars.. At month 5 the sales were 1 (million) dollars. How much were the sales at month 02 hint: it is obvious that at month zero the sales were greater than 4 million dollars, 10. This follows the logistic model. Mr. ZeMarcelino put 10 animals on his farm...

3. The graph below has axes to show the population sizes of a predator and its prey. The dashed lines are the predator and prey isoclines. Prey Population Starting at the circle, draw in what will happen to the two populations if they are following the pattern in the Lotka-Volterra model of predation. (Remember that BOTH predator and prey numbers are represented by a point on the graph.) Use a series of arrows to show what happens. 2. Imagine two...
