The rate of plant growth on an island near Isle Royale is such that the carrying capacity of moose on theisland is 450. Currently there are 450 moose present. The environment is stable and free of wolves. One day,200 additional moose arrive on the island. What is the expected number of moose on the island 30 yearslater, assuming conditions do not change?

1. Initial conditions: Initially, there are 450 moose on the island, and the environment is stable…

Given the information provided in Box F, how much grasshopper (species iv) production can be expected if primary production is 256478 kj.m-2yr-1. Assume that all primary consumers get equal shares of primary production.
1.) At approximately what year did the human population enter an exponential growth phase? 2.) Prior to that time, what was the approximate carrying capacity of Earth? 3.) State three significant technological developments that have acted to increase the carrying capacity of Earth’s environment since that time. 4.) Provide two examples of density-dependent factors that are contributing to or have the potential to contribute to environmental resistance in human populations.
Did the normal growth curve grow at a slower or faster pace than in the new growth curve? Did they level out or reach the same carrying capacity? (The normal growth curve is the light blue line and the dark blue is the new growth curve)
Flowering rush (Butomus umbellatus) is a pink flowering perennial that has been identified as a prohibited noxious weed in Alberta. It is native to Europe, Africa, and Asia, but due to its prolific growth rate on shorelines, it has been crowding out the native species of Alberta. The following table shows the population growth of flowering rush in Chestermere Lake of Calgary. Year Population (N) 2007 10 2008 7 2009 8 2010 22 2011 46 2012 77 2013 158 2014 319 2015 297 2016 355 2017 334 2018 313 2019 291 Chestermere Lake has an area of 2.65 square km and an average depth of 2 m. a) The growth rate of the flowering rush population above from 2009 to 2016 was B) The per capita growth rate of the flowering rush population above from 2009 to 2016 was c) Show your work in calculating the population density of flowering rush in Chestermere Lake in 2016.
A group of golden lion tamarins were released into their natural habitat but most did not survive. The researchers found most were very underweight, presumably due to a lack of food availability. Using the information provided above, What is a possible solution to this human impact problem before releasing more tamarins into this habitat?
Beige and black rabbits were introduced into two meadows. One meadow predominantly consists of volcanic soil and the other predominantly consists of clay soil. Each rabbit was marked with a dot of blue paint and the pad of his foot. The number of rabbits released and recaptured one month later are shown in the table below. Assume the number of rabbits recaptured is a direct reflection of the number of rabbits surviving. Using the data below, what conclusions can you make regarding the color of rabbits and their survival in different soil types? VOLCANIC SOIL # released #recaptures % precentage beige rabbits 137 18 13.1% black rabbits 447 123 27.5% CLAY SOIL # released # recaptures % precentage beige rabbits 393 54 13.1% black rabbits 406 19 4.7%
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
Did the normal growth curve grow at a slower or faster pace than in the new growth curve? Did both curves level out and reach the same carrying capacity?
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 ]
Back at the original beaver population, only 40 beavers remained. This population also has a growth rate of 0.6 and generation time of 2 years. But the place on which this population resides is much smaller and has a carrying capacity of 200. How many beavers do you expect to find in the original population after 6 years?
In many rural areas, stray cats are a problem as they may return to being wild feral cats that have not been spayed or neutered can reproduce, which may result in a population of feral cats. One pair of cats can produce 12 kittens in one year, and half of these kittens are female; this increased population would potentially produce 84 kittens in the second year. In 5-years, the population could reach almost 33000 feral cats. A) What conditions or factors would have to be in place for the population to achieve its biotic potential?
Pronghorns look very similar to antelopes and are considered the fastest mammal in North America. They can be found in the Southeastern parts of Alberta. In the 1800s, it is thought that the population of pronghorns reach 35 million in the Prairies. By 1924, only 20,000 pronghorns could be found in Alberta. In 1996, only 9,600 remained. What is the per capita growth rate of pronghorns in Alberta between 1924 and 1996? Express your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places. If the population is decreasing indicate this with a negative sign. Answer
