A particular bird species found in a certain region is subject to typical density-dependent (logistic) population growth. If the birth rate declines with increasing N according to the function birth rate b= -0.003N+3.4 and death rate increases with N according to the function d=.001N + 0.4. What is the maximum rate of growth, ‘rm’ for this population and find out the carrying capacity of this species, if the initial population size is 1800?
Homework Answers
Ans- Maximum Growth Rate is represented by small 'r' and it can be calculated by subtracting Death Rate from Birth Rate
Growth Rate (r) = b - d
Where birth rate is denoted by small b and death rate by small d.
Growth Rate = -0.003N+3.4 - 001N+0.4 = -0.004N+3.8
Ans b- Carrying capacity of species is 1800.

1. Single Species Growth Consider a single population where the per capita birth rate declines as the population size grows. Let N(t) be the population size at time t. Consider the following assumptions: (A1) The environment in which the species lives (including the climate, other species and the availability of resources like food, etc.) remains constant. (A2) The per capita birth rate is for some b>0. (A3) The per capita death rate is a constant d > 0. Note: This...

True False 2.You discover a new species of salamander and after watching it through mating season, you determine that females lay between 1000-1500 eggs at a time on average. Based on this information and your knowledge of life history traits, you predict that the species also: A. has low levels of parental care. B. has a low risk of mortality at a young age. C. reaches sexual...
