From a population perspective under a constant reproductive rate of 1.1 female offspring per female per lifetime, the population will grow faster with a shorter generation time O a longer generation time generation time doesn't change the growth rate
In a habitat there are 7,500 individuals of P. rufipes, 40% of which have long and thin ovipositors and 60% have short and thick ovipositors. During a single year 250 wasps with long and thin ovipositors died while 325 were born. In that same year, 650 wasps with short, thick ovipositors were born and 800 died. Calculate the per capita growth rate (r) of the two subpopulations of P. rufipes. Per capita growth rate of P. rufipes with long and thin ovipositors: _________ Per capita growth rate of P. rufipes with short and thin ovipositors: _________
The way an individual's energy is divided among growth, maintenance, and reproduction is controlled by the species' genes and is shaped by natural selection. Different species divide their energy in different ways, but the way energy is divided results in the greatest given the species' niche. O body size o individual survival o lifetime reproductive success
A small number of lizards are introduced to an island. Their native habitat is a forest and they mostly live in trees. The island has few trees and the lizards spend most of their time on the ground where they are eaten by snakes. Over many generations the island population of lizards develop shorter toes and longer legs which allow them to run faster on bare ground. The lizards withe longest legs/shortest toes are the least likely to be caught be snakes. After several decades lizards are collected from the island and placed in enclosures. Lizards from the original forest habitat are placed in identical enclosures. Each type of lizard mates and has offspring. The offspring resemble their parents and the offspring of island lizards have shorter toes/longer legs than offspring of forest lizards (i.e the differences you see in nature are also found in a lab setting). This is an example of Group of answer choices a. both natural selection and evolution b. evolution only c.…

The three types of curves are also described as: early loss, late loss, and constant loss. Propose an organism that would have a Type 2 curve. Defend your choice by describing this animal's life pattern using the data and growth curve as a guide. (If you are really stuck, use google to look up survivorship curves)
Age structure diagrams for two hypothetical human populations are shown below. Describe the growth rate of each population and discuss the current and future social and economic problems that each is likely to face.
