Title: Re: A population of a species exhibits logistic growth. If the carrying capacity is 200 individuals ... Post by: bio_man on Feb 1, 2017 For a population of species which exhibits logistic growth, population growth rate can be calculated using the following equation:
dN/dt = rN ( 1- N/K) Where dN/dt – Population growth rate K – Carrying capacity r – Rate of individuals per month N – Population size Maximum growth rate occurs when population size is half of the carrying capacity of the habitat (N = K/2). In the given situation K = 240 individuals N = K / 2 = 240 / 2 = 120 r = 0.3 individuals per month Maximum population logistic growth rate for the population can be calculated as follows: dN/dt = rN ( 1- N/K) dN/dt = 0.3 x 120 (1 – 120/ 240) dN/dt = 36 (1 – 0.5) dN/dt = 36 x 0.5 dN/dt = 18 individuals per month |
