Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the population of rotifers given in the figure increase, decrease or be equal to 6, 300 and the reason for this change.
Introduction:
Population density is the number of a specific type of individuals living in a specified area for a given period of time. The population density can be calculated for plants, microbes, humans, domestic animals and so on. The population density gives information about how many individuals are being supported by the

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?
In a closed system, a pair of houseflies is provided with a garbage can full of food waste. Which of the following graphs describes the growth of housefly population?
Back at the original iguana population, only 40 iguanas remained. This population also has a growth rate of 0.6 and generation time of 2 years. But the island on which this population resides is much smaller and has a carrying capacity of 200. How many iguanas do you expect to find in the original population after 6 years?

- 7) The following data has been obtained from the coastal haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) fishery of Maine. The fishing season was divided into 10 periods. Period Catch per Period 1 208 2 195 3 168 4 132 5 91 6 80 7 63 8 56 9 48 10 33 It was also recorded that five fishing trawlers were in operation during each period of the fishing season. Question: What was the size of the haddock population originally available to the fishery?arrow_forwardIn a habitat there are 7,500 individuals of P. rufipes, 40% of which have long and thin ovipositors and 60% have short and thick ovipositors. During a single year 250 wasps with long and thin ovipositors died while 325 were born. In that same year, 650 wasps with short, thick ovipositors were born and 800 died. Calculate the per capita growth rate (r) of the two subpopulations of P. rufipes. Per capita growth rate of P. rufipes with long and thin ovipositors: _________ Per capita growth rate of P. rufipes with short and thin ovipositors: _________arrow_forwardGeometric growth refers to the growth of populations that do not have overlap in their generations. Annual plants and some insects are good examples where adults die before young individuals mature to reproduce. Pacific salmon are an example of a vertebrate with geometric growth because spawning (egg laying). The equation for geometric growth is: N=2 No; where 2= finite rate of increase and t=number of time intervals. Question A1. Calculate the population size after 10 time intervals (N10) if No = 120 and 2 = 1.1. Question A2. If N1 =750 and N2 = 890, calculate 2arrow_forward
- Imagine a population of daisies that is growing exponentially. At the start of 1995, the population was 104 individuals. At the start of 2004, there were 1350 individuals. Assuming r remained constant, calculate r.arrow_forwardFor each organism, create a survivorship curve by plotting the given information in a line graph. Title each graph "Survivorship Curve for [name of organism]." The y-axis should be labeled "Survivorship" and contain low, medium, and high indicators. The x-axis should be labeled "Life Span" and contain young, middle-aged, and old indicators. American toads practice explosive reproduction. During the first warm days in spring, both males and females migrate from forests and converge on ponds. Reproduction is quick, taking only a few days. Females lay hundreds of eggs in jelly-filled sacks along the sides of the pond or stream. As soon as the eggs are laid, males and females abruptly leave the pond. Even before they hatch, the offspring are prone to high rates of predation. Many offspring die before they reach adulthood. Of the offspring that do survive, some will die in adulthood, and some will live their entire natural life span.arrow_forwardA mess of 40 iguanas moved to a new island which is so large that the carrying capacity is essentially non-existent. The growth rate for these island iguanas was 0.6 and they have a generation time of 2 years. How many iguanas do you expect to find on the island after 6 years? (Show your work. Round your final answer to the nearest whole iguana and clearly indicate your final answer).arrow_forward
- In 1929, 13 white-tailed deer were introduced to an isolated island with no natural predators. A survey was conducted once a year to estimate the population of deer on the island. The table shows the deer population over the first five years on the island. The deer fed on many of the native plants found on the island, including the California false indigo, a thornless shrub that is a preferred food source on the island for deer. Based on the data, which of the following graphs correctly predicts the population of California false indigo from 1929 to 1941? Year of Survey Population of Deer 1929 13 1932 29 1935 66 1938 157 1941 398 image 1 because the California false indigo will be able to reproduce faster than it can be consumed by the deer and will be unaffected by the deer population, maintaining its current population image 2 because the increasing number of deer will help spread seeds of the plant and lead to a rise in…arrow_forwardA population grows exponentially about 2% per year.
