Summary Introduction
To determine: The following - (a) The axis and the curve on the graph. (b) The dotted line. (c) The curve indicates the most rapid growth of a population. (d) The curve better represents the global human population growth.
Introduction: The population growth referred to the increase in the number of individual of particular geographical area of a population. The increase in population over time can be represented by the growth curve. Growth curve can be exponential or logistic.
Exponential curve represent the exponential growth in a particular area and logistic curve represent the population decreasing when it reaches to the

- You monitor the white-tailed deer population for the Wright State campus and woods and estimate 14 deer in the first year and 21 deer in the second year. (A) Assume the deer population is growing geometrically. Based on these data, what is geometric growth rate constant (A)? (B) Geometric growth patterns can also be modeled exponentially. If modeled exponentially, would you expect the exponential growth rate constant () to be greater than, less than, or equal to 0? Why? You monitor the deer population for many years. The population grows for a few more years, then seems to stabilize around 75 deer. (C) Given this information, what would be a more appropriate model for the deer population growth? Why? (D) What factors might be limiting the population growth? Would these factors be considered density-dependent or density- independent factors? Why? it is equal to zero.

- A population that did not grow in close relation to the amount of resources available in the environment, and dramatically overshot the carrying capacity, would experience: A. logistic growth, such as shown on the S-shaped curve B. exponential growth, such as shown on the J-shaped curve C. unpredictable growth, such as shown on the ?-shaped curve D. exponential growth, such as shown on the S-shaped curve E.logistic growth, such as shown on the J-shaped curvearrow_forwardThe per capita birth (b) and death (d) rates are measured for two populations across a range of population sizes in the attached figure. The equation for exponential growth rate is dN/dt=rN where the per capita growth rate is r=(b-d). The equation for logistic population growth rate is dN/dt=rN(1-N/K). With logistic growth, r varies as a function of the population size with density-dependent birth and/or death rates.

- A region of North America has a population of 65,000 deer in 2016. The deer are kept in check by a wolf population. The carrying capacity of this region allows for 82,000 deer. For this example, assume the rmax is 1.0. With this information, answer/calculate the following:arrow_forwardThe island of Isle Royale in Lake Superior has historically contained both moose and wolves. In recent years, the number of wolves has dwindled, leaving few predators for the moose. This has led to a large increase in the moose population on the island. The following information is from 2018. Using this information and the equation shown, the growth rate for the moose population on Isle Royale can be calculated. Based on the current population and the growth rate, what type of growth model would be expected? A - A logistical growth model would best represent this population because the moose population will decrease over time. B - An exponential growth model would best represent this population because there are few predators for the moose on this island. C - A logistical growth model would best represent this population because the increase in the number of moose would level off over time. D - An exponential growth model would best represent this population because the moose…arrow_forwardThe island of Isle Royale in Lake Superior has historically contained both moose and wolves.

- Write a model for discrete population growth from t=0 to t=1. Assume that the population is ‘closed’. Define your terms.arrow_forwardThe world population reached seven billion in 2011. At current growth rate, it is expected to reach eight billion by 2024 and nine billion by 2037. However, many projections predict that the world population will level off at around 9 billion individuals. Why is the world population expected to level off? Select one: a. The global fertility rate has been decreasing for the past 20 years and is expected to decline even further. b. More than a third of the world population is expected to be aged 60 years or above in 2100. c. The Earth’s carrying capacity is estimated at 9 billion individuals, when the global birth rate and death rate become equivalent. d. Recent technological and medical advances led to increased life expectancy, allowing individuals to live longer.arrow_forwardExamine the top and middle graphs in Figure 54-5.
