Estimate the definition of carrying capacity

Reference no: EM1396010

1. A population has a current size of 110. If ? is 1.3, what will the expected population size be after two generations?

2. A continuously growing population has a population size of 1,000 and an intrinsic rate of increase of r = 0.05 per year. Assuming that this rate of increase remains the same, about how long should it take for the population to reach 4,000?

3. In one year's time, how many individuals should be in age classes 0, 1, 2, and 3 (assuming that the survival probabilities and fecundities stay the same, and rounding to the nearest integer)?

Age Class (years)	Number	Survival probability	Fecundity
0	450	0.3	0
1	245	0.7	2
2	120	0.1	3
3	94	0	0

4. What is the definition of carrying capacity?

a. How does carrying capacity fit into the context of the logistic equation?

b. How does population growth rate change over time with logistic growth?
