Question
Many species that exhibit density-dependent population growth have a minimum population size below which it becomes too difficult for individuals to find mates. As a result, the population growth rate (dN/dt) becomes negative (point A on the left figure). This is known as the ''Allee Effect ''. Given the population growth rate profile shown in the left figure, answer the following 3 questions (*hint - use the figure on the right to draw if that helps you visualize each question before selecting your answer):Explanation / Answer
14. b. decline to K
15. a. Grow to K
16. d. decline to Zero
17. d. none of the above is true
18. correct option is (d).
All options are correct.
