Question

1. Very short answer questions. Each of these questions can be answered in no more than two sentences, and some require only 1-2 words for a complete answer. (0.25 point each) Imagine you wanted to model the growth of chimpanzees, which, like humans, can reproduce at any time of the year if there is enough food. Which would you use, a continuous or a discrete model? Briefly, why that model and not another? Give a specific example of a delayed density-dependent effect. What are the two variables that can affect whether or not logistic growth with delayed density dependence becomes chaotic? If you have 57 individuals in a population where r= 0.30 and K = 100, how many individuals will you have in one year, according to the logistic growth model? A. B. C. D.

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER:

Currently, more than 70% of chimpanzee habitat is affected by infrastructure and if current human population growth rates are maintained, it is estimated that by the year 2030 less than 10% of chimpanzee habitat will remain unaffected by development
