If you were modeling salamander population growth with the logistic growth equation, during the first few years:
Pick one of the options below
a.) N
b.)N=K
c.) N>K
d.) there is no relationship between N and K
_____________________________________________________________________________
If you were modeling salamander population growth with the logistic equation, you would assume that after many years, the population growth rate, dN/dt, would be close to zero, and the population size would not change much. This is because, after many years:
a.) the intrinsic growth rate,r, has decreased to approximately zero
b.) The population size,N, has decreased to approx. zero
c.) The factor (1-N/K) has decreased to approx. zero
d.)The carrying capacity; k, has decreased to aprox. zero
