Concept explainers

Population Growth

R and K Selection

R and K selection are concepts in ecology used to describe traits in the fluctuation of a population or population dynamics. For example, they describe the life-association traits between parent and offspring, such as quantity or number of young ones born at a time, quality of parental care, the age to maturity, and reproductive effort.

A population of boreal toads has a current size of 100 and time steps are measured in years. If the instantaneous rate of increase is 0.8 (toads/(toadXtime)), what will the expected population size be after two years? Note: You need to first figure out which equation to use for this problem. O 64 toads O 117 toads O 495 toads O 6400 toads No toads will be left because the instantaneous rate of increase is less than 1.0.
Gotelli discusses how environmental stochasticity influences extinction, arguing that a scaling relationship between the mean and variance of population growth rate (r) determine extinction risk. What is the scaling relationship? О а. Environmental stochasticity doesn't influence extinction risk b. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is double the mean С. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is greater than the mean squared d. Extinction will occur if the variance in r is greater than the mean е. Extinction will occur if the variance in r goes to 0
