- Compare and contrast ‘bottom up’ versus ‘top down’ factors that limit population growth.arrow_forwardWhen the conditions are favorable for a population at low density, such as when a species colonizes a new environment, population growth is typically O logistic. exponential. tangential. dynamic.arrow_forwardA population bottleneck will typically result in; A larger, more diverse population A smaller, less diverse population A larger, less diverse population A smaller, more diverse populationarrow_forward
- identify and describe this type of population growth pattern. I put fluctuation growth pattern as it matched up with what i have previously learned but just wanted to double check. i know there is exponential growth, logistic growth, fluctuations and cycles when it comes to population dynamicsarrow_forwardDescribe the difference between density-dependent and density-independent effects on populations.arrow_forwardExplain the differences between equations for exponential population growth, logistic population growth, and Lotka-Volterra models for competition. Illustrate how and explain why these equations yield different trends?arrow_forward
- Identify examples of evidence that a population has a size that is density dependent. The number of progeny per adult decreases as population density increases. A population's resources and potential mates are insufficient for all individuals. A population is devastated by extremely cold temperatures every few years. The maximum population limit increases as population density decreases.arrow_forwardDiscuss various factors that affect population size and density.arrow_forwardCompare and contrast density dependent limiting factors and density independent limiting factors Density dependent both Density independent Limit population sizearrow_forward
