Ecology Question:
When Norway rats invade a new warehouse where living conditions are ideal, they multiply at a very rapid rate: r = 0.0157 per day. How many days are required for each doubling of the population size?
Select one:
a. Many days????
b. 2
c. 47.14
d. 44.14
td = 0.693 / g
td = doubling time and g = growth rate.
So, td = 0.693 / 0.0157 days = 44.14 days.
Hence the doubling time for population is 44.14 days.

Problem 3: When Norway rats invade a new warehouse where living conditions are ideal, they multiply at a very rapid rate: r=0.0147 per day. How many days are required for the population size to double? How many rats will be in the population after 80 days? For part A I got: Nt = N0ert 2 = 1 (ert) (take natural log of both sides) ln (2) = r * t (divide both sides by r) ln(2) / r = t...
