Population size changes

Consider one of the simplest models of the development of the population of the organisms, according to which birth rate is proportional to the population size P with a rate constant ki, and death rate is proportional to the square of the population size with a rate 2- Determine, how the population size changes for ki = 1, 2 = 0.0001, initial population size is P = 10 individuals. What would be the overall population size after a very long time First solve the problem analytically obtain expressions for the dependence P(t) and also expression for the size of the stable population P(t)t ao- Then perform numeric calculation. Compare results of analytic and numeric calculations. 

The impact of chemical pollution on the reproductive success and population sizes of wildlife species is often difficult to assess. In many cases, environmental factors such as habitat restriction, stress due to human intrusion and changes in natural food supplies owing to hunting, fishing and restocking policies may have a significant, even predominant, effect on population size. This makes it difficult to determine to what extent, if any, environmental endocrine disrupters may be contributing to observed effects on reproduction or population size in wildlife species. 

The growth of population size and trends in civilization development bring with them many problems of global ecodynamics, especially the impact of society on climatic trends. The broader issues of the ecological, economic, and human effects of climate change were considered by Hardy (2003). The following aspects of the climate change problem were explained ... 

B2 The plotline and scenario family B2 contain a description of the world in which the emphasis is placed on local solutions to the problem of economic, social, and ecological stability. It is a world with constantly increasing global population size at rates below A2, intermediate levels of economic development, and not so rapid and more diverse technological changes compared with plotlines Al and Bl. Though this scenario is also aimed at protection of the environment and social justice, the emphasis here is placed on local and regional levels. 

The expected time to find a better peak is td = 1 / (Mf/m), similar to a prediction by Gillespie (1984). Both Eq. (35) and (36) predict that it is more important to have a large mutation rate rather than a large population size to accelerate an adaptive change. 

The hi are used to express the conditional probability of changes in the population sizes for the Ri reaction from I, to I, I At given the system in n (/,) at t. These probabilities are described by means of the intensity functions IVlA,...,Vl]m (Ni,.. whereby... 

Figure 1 shows the changes in the total population size with time. By the end of six months the hydroprene population was reduced to near zero the few remaining cockroaches were non reproductive adults. The control population increased from 10 to approximately 1000 during the test period.
