Diagram B shows that the population size fluctuates around the carrying capacity. Considering what you know about these interactions in the environment, discuss with your group since if the factors that could cause these fluctuations In your answer you should relate these factors to the information from Model 1. https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239362405 Group 7: A lack of food or space and a presence of famine can cause the death rate to increase and decrease the birth rate and the population but later the birth rate will likely increase to compensate for the drop. Also if the is population is above the carrying capacity, there will be less resources and organisms will emigrate out. But if the population is under the carrying capacity, there will be more resources and organisms will immigrate there.

The maximum population an environment can sustain is affected by environmental factors that cause the population to level out or become stable. What term is used to describe this level of logistic growth? https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239363726 Group 5: Carrying Capacity ]]> 2018-03-07 19:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239363726 5. Which of the three types have the highest number of individuals that reach reproductive age? https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239364219 Group 1: Type 1 (because more of their offspring survive until then reproductive age due to their tendency to produce less offspring but keep their young nearby and protected until they reach adulthood, this ensuring survival)]]> 2018-03-07 19:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239364219 6. How do you think populations with Type II or III survivorship compensate for high prereproductive mortality? https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239364558 Group 6: Type II and III survivorship populations compensate with high birth rates. ]]> 2018-03-07 19:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239364558 15. Brainstorm several factors that could be considered as environmental resistance. https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239365808 Group 6: food shortage, water shortage, physical space, diseases, predators ]]> 2018-03-07 19:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239365808 8. Under what circumstances might human populations not show Type I survivorship? https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239365961 Group 4: Lack of resources like medicine, food, or water]]> 2018-03-07 19:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/xdqc6htrs52m/wish/239365961
