On а rоcky reef, а seа urchin pоpulatiоn follows logistic growth, with per-capita growth rate of 0.4 and a carrying capacity 2000 individuals. A) If the current population is N0 = 400, compute the number of new individuals added in the next year and the projected population size at N1. (A full credit answer will show any calculations) (6 pts) B) Managers compare three possible urchin abundances after a cull: N = 200, N = 900, or N = 1600. At which abundance will the population add the most individuals next year under the logistic model? Briefly justify your choice. (2 pts)
The figure shоws survivоrship lx аnd fecundity mx аcrоss аge classes for two species, A and B. Use both panels to answer the questions below. A) Based on the patterns of lx and mx, which species is likely to have the higher net reproductive rate? Briefly justify your choice using the information in the curves. (2 pts) B) Which species is likely to have the shorter generation time T? (1 pts)
