A population of 200 bass released in a lake began growing at a rate of 100 fish/yr. A second assessment performed at a later date found that there were 400 fish and the population was growing at a rate of 160 fish/yr. (Assume logistic growth dynamics.) Estimate the equilibrium population size if fish are harvested at the MSY

A population of 200 bass released in a lake began growing at a rate of 100 fish/yr. A second assessment performed at a later date found that there were 400 fish and the population was growing at a rate of 160 fish/yr. (Assume logistic growth dynamics.) Estimate the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) from the population.
In 2017, 16 bison were released into Elk Island National Park. Within the next five years, 42 more bison will be released into the 1,200 km2 area. During the study period, it is expected that 45 calves will be born and 13 bison will die or be removed from the study area. What is the expected per capita growth rate of the bison population during this study period? Express your answer rounded to two decimal places. If the population is decreasing indicate this with a negative sign.
In a forest in India, there are 800 axis deer and 500 barking deer. The forest can support a maximum of 1,200 barking deer. The competition coefficient of barking deer on the axis deer is 0.25, and the competition coefficient of the reverse pair is 0.5. The intrinsic growth rate of barking deer is 2.0. Based on the Lotka-Volterra model, the population growth rate for barking deer is 416.67 Now, let's see if the two species can coexist in this forest. You are provided with some additional information: the carrying capacity of axis deer is 4,000. Determine if the two species can coexist.
One hundred trout are seeded into a lake. Absent constraint, their population will grow by 70% a year. The lake can sustain a maximum of 2000 trout. Using the logistic growth model, calculate the number of trout after 5 years. 992 850 439 678
In the land between the lakes, Elk and Bison Prairie, we currently have 125 bison and 15 elk. These species are known to compete for some but not all of their resources. We are able to determine that the carrying capacity of the bison K1 is 200 and that the alpha (competition coefficient) is 4. The carrying capacity for Elk (K2) is 100 and the beta (competition coefficient) is 1.
A colony of aliens reaches planet Earth in 3000 BC and set up a base in Antarctica. If their initial population is 100 and their specific growth rate is 0.02263/year and their yieid coefficient is 0.85, then in what year (AD) will they start to outcompete humans for resources negiecting resource and logistic growth limiting effects? Assume the human population 3000 BC is 50 million, the human yield coefficient is 0.75 and the human specific growth rate is 0.02/year. Answer:

Populations with exponential growth patterns do not experience a lag phase, populations with logistic growth patterns are the ones that have lag phases. True False
In 2010, 150 coyotes (Canis latrans) were counted in Pierce County, WA. And the growth rate is 14 coyortes per year. Following a survey of the community, the social carrying capacity of coyotes was around 500 individuals. How long will it take for the coyote population to reach this human tolerance goal? Biologists have estimated the biological carrying capacity for coyotes in the county to be 1000 individuals. How long will it be before the population reaches carrying capacity using exponential growth? Would it take more or less time for the population to reach carrying capacity if using logistic growth equation and assumptions?
When a population is close to its carrying capacity the value of (1-N/K) is likely to be_____key words: ( close to 1, close to 0.5, close to zero) In a logistic growth curve, at the inflection point the value of (1-N/K) is likely to be_______ key words: ( close to 1, close to 0.5, close to zero)
In the logistic growth equation the highest instantaneous population growth rate (dN/dt) is reached When the population is smallest, because then intraspecific competion and thereby resource limitation is weakest When the population is near K, because the largest population still growing has the highest growth rate, as it has the highest number of reproducing adults When the population is in the middle between zero and K (N = K/2) because then the trade-off between still having modest negative effects of intraspecific competition on growth rate but having a relatively high population size of individuals that could be reproducing is optimal
The per capita growth rate of the Colorado River fish is 27.0. The change in the size of the population of these fish over a period of six years was 541. The initial size of the population of Colorado River fish is ?
