Question

per capita birth rate: .49

per capita death rate: .29

Per capita rate of increase (R) .2

(below) generation and population at generation

0.) 10

1.) 12

2.) 14.4

3.) 17.28

4.) 20.73

5.) 24.88

6.) 29.85

7.) 35.83

8.) 42.99

9.) 51.59

10.) 61.91

Considering these values, if ten individuals of that population migrated into a new habitat that had a carrying capacity (K) of 100....

a. what would the per capita rate of increase be at K?

b. what would be the intrinsic rate of increase for that new population at K?

c. What would be the overall population growth rate at K?

Answer 1

3. Ideally, a population that has reached carrying capacity will not successfully reproduce to enter the next generation and thus, in such a population iit will be difficult to calculate the overall growth rate. In an exponentially growing population, this would have been same as the rate of intrinsic increase.
