Chapter 18, Problem 7WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The graph that shows the population growth at alternating sub-optimum and optimum years for opportunistic and equilibrium life history in a span of 6 years.
Introduction:
The organisms represent either opportunistic or equilibrium life cycle. The type of survivorship, the maturation period, number of offsprings and the size of offsprings differ between the organisms that represent the two life cycles.

Geometric 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 2
Write the BIDE dynamics equation, where the left side of the equation is Nt+1. Realizing you are working with a closed population, put an “X” through the terms you will not need to consider to understand population growth of a species.
A population of grey squirrels started with one pair and grows logistically with
annual r = 1 and K = 42. Use the logistic growth equation to predict the population
size 14 years after the first pair arrived.

- 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?arrow_forwardA few plant-eating salamanders manage to float on a log to a large island in the Pacific that did not have any other salamander species previously. The salamanders find the island has abundant plants for food and no predators. On average, a salamander has four offspring per year and lives for one year. Refer to the equation for the logistic growth model if you were modeling salamnder population growth with this logistic growth equation, during the first few years, a) N<K b) N=K c) N>K d) there is no relationship between N and Karrow_forwardA fish population has a per capita birth rate of 10 young per fish and a per capita death rate of 0.3 (= 30% chance of dying). Its carrying capacity is 50,000. What should be your harvest rate if you want to maximize your catch (number of fish) sustainably, i.e. without risk of bringing the population to extinction? Show your calculations. Note that there is no variation in this system.arrow_forward

Calculate how many bugs are added to the population next month when population size is 65? 2. Now keeping the condition of density dependent growth, let's change some numbers: K=270 and r=0.13.

- Trumpeter swans were once widespread and abundant in North America. However, a combination of heavy hunting pressure and habitat lost drastically 4 reduced the species’ population down to less than 70 individuals in the wild by the mid-1930s. By the mid-1980s, Trumpeter swans were more prevalent again in Alberta, especially near Grande Prairie. The following graph depicts the estimated number of Trumpeter swans in Alberta, carried out at five-year intervals from 1985 to 2010. What growth pattern of the Trumpeter swan population in Alberta is being observed? What environmental conditions allow the growth pattern that you identified? What may cause the growth pattern that is being observed to change?arrow_forwardThe eastern barred bandicoot is a highly threatened marsupial in Australia. Assume a generation time of 1.5 and an effective/adult ratio of 0.135. B: What is the minimum population size of adults that should be established and maintained to ensure that genetic diversity is not lowered by more than 10% over the next 50 years? A: If we know that the carrying capacity of the habitat allows for a maximum population size of 125/hectare; how many hectares of habitat need to be available to support the minimum population size from A?arrow_forwardThe maximum sustainable yield (MSY) is the highest rate at which a potentially renewable resource can be used indefinitely without reducing its available supply. The idea is to remove individuals while keeping the population at a constant growth rate and size, but to find the size where the harvest is maximized. The greater the growth rate, the more individuals you can remove and not change the population size. Where is the growth rate at its maximum? To find this look at your logistic model simulator. 1. Set up a hypothetical salmon population where the carrying capacity is 20,000 fish, the maximumr is 0.7. According the the maximum sustainable yield (MSY), at what population size should we maintain the salmon while fishing?arrow_forward
- Describe the exponential model of population growth give the characteristics of species that follow this model of population growth.arrow_forwardPopulations are unable to sustain exponential growth for very long because environments are not unlimited. Eventually growth rates are reduced by a shortage of food, space or some other factor. These factors constitute what is known as ‘environmental resistance’ and their effect upon growth may produce a logistic growth curve. The data shown in the Table below illustrate this pattern of growth for three species’ populations, each beginning with a population of 10 individuals. Table 1: Temporal changes in the numbers of individuals of three different species’ populations, observed in the wild.
