3.Given is a population of wolves (W) and rabbits (R).

R[t+1] = R[t]+ g*R[t] * (1 – R[t]/K) - sR[t]W[t]

W[t+1] = (1-u)W[t] + vR[t]W[t]

The carrying capacity of rabbits is 1 million. The growth rate of rabbits is 10% a year and s is equal to 0.00001, v is 0.0000001, and u is equal to 0.01.

a. How many wolves and how many rabbits exist in the equilibrium

b. Implement the model into Excel with the initial populations of 200,000 sheep and 10,000 wolves

c. Look at the effect of the carrying capacity of rabbits. Suppose environmental pollution decrease the carrying capacity for the rabbits. After trying different values of K, what can you conclude is the minimum carrying capacity needed to have a population of wolves surviving in this environment?

d. Show the dynamics over time.

    Problem 1 In simple predator-prey models, sinusoidal functions can be used to model the oscillating populations of two species of animals in the same environment. As the population of the predator species increases, the population of the prey species will decrease. If the number of prey gets too low, the population of the predator species will suffer from limited resources and start to decline. In this problem we will be modeling one population of rabbits (the prey) and one population...

    POPULATION MODELS: PLEASE ANSWSER ASAP: ALL 3 AND WILL RATE U ASAP. The logistic growth model describes population growth when resources are constrained. It is an extension to the exponential growth model that includes an additional term introducing the carrying capacity of the habitat. The differential equation for this model is: dP/dt=kP(t)(1-P(t)/M) Where P(t) is the population (or population density) at time t, k > 0 is a growth constant, and M is the carrying capacity of the habitat. This...
