Question
Imagine that you are managing a large game ranch. You know from historical accounts that a species of deer used to live there, but they have been extirpated (eradicated, destroyed). You decide to reintroduce them. You then observe the population increase for several generations and it reaches carrying capacity of 900 individuals, with seasonal variation after 15 generations (spring summer overshoot of 200 individuals).
Graph the expected number of individuals (vertical axis) against the number of generations (horizontal axis).
Explanation / Answer
In the logistic equation dN/dt = rN (K-N)K, r is a measure of the population?s intrinsic rate of increase. as N approaches K, the carrying capacity will increase.it will show sigmoidal model of growth
