Question
In 5 years time, there are an estimated 162 individuals on Island A, and 112 individuals on Island B. Which island has the higher growth rate? What will the population size of each island be in another 5 years time? Give your answers to 3 decimal places.
A couple of researchers want to estimate the sizes of two populations of Anolis lizards on two different islands. They do this making two trips to each island. On the first trip to island A 20 lizards are captured and marked, and on the second trip 25 lizards are captured, of which 4 are marked. On the first trip to island B, 35 lizards are captured and marked, and on the second trip 33 are captured, of which 12 are marked. In 5 years time, there are an estimated 162 individuals on Island A, and 112 individuals on Island B. Which island has the higher growth rate? What will the population size of each island be in another 5 years time? Give your answers to 3 decimal places.Explanation / Answer
Island A has higher growth rate .
In another 5 years time the population will be 3.5 times more than the present population in Island A. In island B, the population will be 0.5 times than the present population
