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.

American crows (species 1) compete with Turkey Vultures (species 2) for carrion. Vultures are 4x as large as crows and eat 4x as much. They also can chase Crows away from carcasses. Therefore, one additional vulture in an area displaces four crows, but it takes 10 additional crows to displace one vulture. The competition coefficients are O alpha12 (imaging the greek alpha with subsript 12) = 10, alpha21 = 4 O alpha12 = 4, alpha21 = 10 O alpha12 = 4, alpha21 = 0.1 O alpha12 0.1, alpha21 = 4
A small lake is capable of supporting both bluegill and smallmouth bass. These two bony fish species compete for similar food resources. The carrying capacity of this lake for bluegill (K,) is 1,500 and for bass (Kz) is 500. After some careful measurement, we find that a is 0.5 and that ß is 0.25. We stock the lake with 250 bluegill and 750 bass. Over time, will both species be able to co-exist? If not, which one will be driven to extinction in this lake? If so, approximately how many of each species will be present? Please show math on paper and Draw Graph on paper! Please
What if we were able to restore some critical salmon habitat, like the forests surrounding the spawning streams? To test this restoration, increase K to 40,000 fish. What would that do to the MSY value? [ Select ] Does this mean you would be able to harvest more or less fish? [ Select ]
A small lake is capable of supporting both bluegill and small-mouth bass. These two bony fish species compete for similar food resources. The carrying capacities of this lake for bluegill (K1) is 1,500 and for small-mouth bass (K2) is 500. After some careful measurement, we find that α (or α12)is 0.5 and that β (or α21) is 0.25. We stock the lake with 250 bluegill and 750 bass. Over time, will both species coexist? If so, approximately how many of each species will be present? If not, which one will be driven to extinction in this lake?

Two winters ago, a species of bird called the pine siskin began appearing in droves at backyard bird feeders in my hometown. We would occasionally spot a few each winter, but numbers were unusually high that year. The next winter, it seemed as if all of the "extra" pine siskins had disappeared. Numbers fell back to the levels that we were used to seeing. Use the concept of carrying capacity to explain the irruption of pine siskins described in the scenario. Provide your answer in a standard paragraph using complete sentences
A coyote population in Colorado has 40 individuals, the potential reproductive rate per individual per year is 1.5, and the carrying capacity of the area is 50 coyotes. In the same habitat, the bobcat population has 30 individuals, the potential reproductive rate per individual per year is 2, and the carrying capacity of the area is 100 bobcats. The bobcats depress population growth of coyotes through competition by 0.20, while the coyotes depress population growth of bobcats through competition by 1.1. What will the population size be for coyotes next year? *Note that this is the other half of the bobcat question, and you need to round your answer to a whole animal. 40 5 45 16 55
