1) If a species has a (Lambda sign) of 0.75 and has a current
population size of 135, how many years will it take for the
population size to go below 50? Show all work
Nt = N0 X t
N0 - Initial population - 135
- Extnction coefficient - 0.75
t - time in years = ?
Nt = 135 X 0.754 = 135 X 0.316 = 42.71
When t = 4 the population size is 42.7 which is less than 50 hence it will take 4 years for the population to become less than 50

A population has a current size of 100 and time steps are measured in years. If λ = 1.2, how big will the population be after 4 years? A.)1076 B.)159 C.) 207 D.) 312 A species of cleaner fish removes parasites from another species of fish that is much bigger in size. The big fish keeps cleaner fish predators away. This type of species interaction is classified as: A.) Mutualism B.) Competition C.) Neutralism D.) Antagonism It is estimated that...
The current heterozygosity of an isolated population of lemurs is 23%. The effective population size is estimated to be about 50. How many generations will it take for heterozygosity to fall to 15% due to drift?
A species of fish was added to a lake. The population size P(t) of this species can be modeled by the following function, where t is the number of years from the time the species was added to the lake. P(t)= 1200 -0.42t 1+ 3e Find the initial population size of the species and the population size after 9 years. Round your answers to the nearest whole number as necessary. Initial population size: fish Population size after 9 years: fish...

A species of horned toads has a (starting) population size of 5000 individuals. Every month, 400 individuals are born. However, you cannot assess the number of individuals that die every month because after death the animals are susceptible to a fungus that quickly degrades their carcasses. You can measure, though, that the population is declining over time, with the population size decreasing by 250 individuals every month (i.e., deltaN/deltaT). Calculate the total number of deaths per month and the per...
Write a program to help answer questions like the following: Suppose the species Klingon ox has a population of 100 and a growth rate of 15 percent, and the species elephant has a population of 10 and a growth rate of 35 percent. How many years will it take for the elephant population to exceed the Klingon ox population? You can assume that this will happen within 10 years. Use the version of the class Species from Sakai’s Week 7...
