Title: Population growth and interactions
Post by: angie19 on Aug 21, 2015
I know what b is but I need help with A)
The loggerhead shrike is considered by the committee on the status of endangered wildlife in Canada to be of "special concern" in Alberta. Within a study area in 1998, 232 shrikes were observed at 144 locations. During the next 5 years, 52 new shrikes were born and 116 died or left the area.
Calculate the growth rate of this shrike population during the study period
