Question

cChoose all that apply. If a population is decreasing in size, you would expect lambda to be ___________________ and r to be _______________________.

Answer 1

If the population can be shown to be decreasing in size, then the lambda would be positive while the r would be negative.

What happens when the population is decreasing?

When the population is decreasing, the rate would be negative because the population is shrinking. This is why r - which is rate - will be negative.

Lambda on the other hand will be positive to show that the population started from a higher value and is now decreasing.
