Apes Population

Loboville is an island of 4000 square miles off the coast ot Los Amigos. There are currently 250,000 inhabitants of Loboville. Last year, there were 12,000 new children born and 10,000 people were recorded as deceased. Calculate the doubling time for Loboville (round to the nearest whole number).

How does a density-dependent limiting factor affect a population's carrying capacity?

• It increases the carrying capacity as the population density increases.

• It has no effect on the carrying capacity.

• It decreases the carrying capacity as the population density increases.

• It only affects the carrying capacity when the population density is low.

What is most likely the cause of the difference in population changes between the Normal Weather graph and the Harsh Winter graph?

• The rabbits have more food available in harsh winters

• The rabbits migrate to warmer areas in harsh winters

• Harsh winter weather is difficult to survive, causing more deaths

• Harsh winters cause an increase in birth rates
