Population growth rate can be defined as:
Responda
-
change in number of individuals per unit time
-
the maximum number of individuals a habitat can support
-
birth rate x death rate

linear
-
logistic
-
exponential
-
parabolic
Questão 9
Questão
Exponential population growth is density-independent.
Responda

Questão 12
Questão

overall population size (summing all patches) is constant
-
there are 'core' populations that never go extinct
Questão 13
Questão
In a metapopulation, there is a balance between extinction and (re)colonization.
Responda
- True
- False
Questão 14
Questão
Many of the hypotheses that have been developed to explain population cycles (including in hares) involve:
Responda
-
density-dependent factors
-
density-independent factors
-
carrying capacity
-
age-specific factors
Questão 15
Questão
Projections for human population growth depend primarily on what factor?
Responda
-
infant mortality rates
-
overall survivorship
-
fertility rates in women

the population is increasing; r=0.5
-
the population is increasing, and r is increasing
-
the population is stable; r (population growth rate) = 0
