which of the following populations will experience the faste

which of the following populations will experience the fastest population growth rate?

Solution

The growth rate is calculated by: growht rate = birth rate - death rate. Here all the parameters that is initial population size (1000), death rate (0.01) and time period ( 1 year) are same the only variable is birth rate. Therefore the growth rate will be as follows:

For rabbits, growth rate = 0.11 - 0.01 = 0.1

For wolves, growth rate = 0.06 -0.01 = 0.05

For elephants, growth rate = 0.02 - 0.01 = 0.01

For blue whales growth rate = 0.01 - 0.01 = 0

Hence, the maximum growth rate (0.1) will experience by rabbits.
