Beavers are monogamous mammals that breed annually and produce a litter of about one to four kits. Kits remain in the care of the colony until two to three years of age.
Century plants are flowering plants native to Mexico. Century plants live 10-30 years and flower only once in their lifetime and perish shortly after. THeir giant flowering stalks can reach up to 9m long but they reproduce primarily via suckers.
Honeybees live in colonies as large as 50,000 bees. Only the queen lays eggs and lays up to 2,000 per day.
The house mouse is a polygamous mammal with the gestation period of about 20 days and a litter size of up to 14. Mice nurse their young until about 20 days.

- Describe the growth at various parts of the S-shaped curve of logistic growth.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is correct? For this question 1 or more statements may be correct. If you select an incorrect statement you will lose points. When it comes to measuring the productivity of farms over the years USDA does not prefer looking at the crop yield per acre and the agricultural value-added per worker Productivity measures changes in the efficiency with which inputs are transformed into outputs The 3 special conditions of agriculture mentioned in the lectures are: biological, physical and market conditions Asset fixity is a problem because it is difficult to purchase the required capital equipment for farms Functional foods, are Foods designed to have only basic nutritional functions.arrow_forwardDefine briefly the following term based on your own understanding. Exponential growth Logistic growth Carrying capacity Limiting factorsarrow_forward
- 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)arrow_forwardThe growth rate of a population per unit of time is calculated by using this formula: G = r x N. What is the quantity r and how is it calculated?arrow_forwardThe type of growth that occurs in a population that grows by a constant percentage per year is________ . Does this form of growth add the same number of individuals each year?_______ What shape of curve is generated if this type of growth is graphed?______ Can this type of growth be sustained indefinitely?______arrow_forward
- Using this data calculate growth rate r assuming the growth is exponential and use it to calculate the doubling time.arrow_forwardExplain what carrying capacity means and give the similarities/differences for exponential growth and logistic growth along with the factors that might affect them. will upvote if correctarrow_forwardPopulations with exponential growth patterns do not experience a lag phase, populations with logistic growth patterns are the ones that have lag phases. True Falsearrow_forward
- Define Net Primary Productivity. To get this right, you must mention GPP in your answer (In a way that is useful).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_forwardDraw, name, and describe the properties of a growth curveof a population without environmental resistance.arrow_forward
