40 beavers moved to a new place which is so large that the carrying capacity is essentially non- existent. The growth rate for these beavers was 0.6 and they have a generation time of 2 years. How many beavers do you expect to find in that place after 6 years?
56. When Yellowstone National Park was created in the late 1800s, the grey wolf population was not protected, which led to the elimination of the population in 1926. In 1995, 21 wolves were reintroduced in Yellowstone National Park.The following table shows the total number of wolves in Yellowstone since the reintroduction in 1995: Year Number of Wolves 1995 21 1996 51 1997 86 1998 112 1999 118 2000 119 2001 132 2002 148 2003 174 2004 171 2005 118 2006 136 2007 171 2008 124 2009 96 2010 97 2011 98 2012 83 2013 95 What is the expected growth pattern and growth curve of the grey wolf population in Yellowstone National Park, respectively?

In 1976, finches were grouped together based on the average depth of their bills. The data from the first generation of grouped finches are plotted on the X-axis. The bill depths of the offspring from each group are plotted on the Y-axis. In 1978, the experiment was repeated after a drought on the Galapagos Islands. The red line represents the data from 1976 and the blue line represents the data from 1978. The slope of both the red line is 0.90 and the slope of the blue line is 0.90. Was there any change in the heritability of the bill depth trait after the drought? Explain your reasoning. Offspring bill depth (mm)
Part A: A population of 100 Asian elephants exhibits logistic growth. If the carrying capacity is 500 elephants and theper capita growth rate is 0.1 individuals/(individuals × year), what is the maximum population growth rate forthe population? part b: Based on the above question, what is the maximum population growth rate for the population if we assumedthe elephants were undergoing exponential growth?
