a) You have an exponentially-growing population of rodents, withan annual λ of 1.35.
Calculate the number of individuals added to thepopulation in a given month whenthere are 250, 500, 1000, 5000, or 10,000 individuals to startwith. (2pts)
b) Now impose density dependence onthe population with a logistic model in which K = 6500 individuals.Again, calculate the number of individuals added to thepopulation in a given month when thereare 250, 500, 1000, 5000, and 10,000 individuals to start with.(2pts)
c) How does population growth compare betweenthe two models (exponential vs. logistic) at the low and at thehigh starting population numbers? (2pts)
Present the numbers (rounded to two decimal places) for a),and b) in a table in the space below, along with the answer forc).
