Answer and Explanation:

Observing population directly gives you accurate result .

Direct observation does not need any intermediary as they themselves go for survey.

So, it is cost efficient.

Whereas indirect observing may involve manipulations.

It requires someone or many to hire who helps in surveying.

It incurs cost.

Thus, direct observation is always better than indirect observation.

Answer:

On the subjects, direct observation can be made by noticing the behaviors they possess in their natural habitat. In order to gather the information, the investigator can either hide to prevent any intrusion or can be either present physically to record the observations with the help of a camera. For example, recording or watching a chirping bird.

On the other hand, indirect observation comprises recording of the traces left behind by the subject to comprehend the cause behind the behavior demonstrated by the subject. For example, recording the distribution of the bird droppings to determine their movement.

Therefore, it can be concluded that direct observation helps in determining the behavior in a population and an indirect observation will assist in developing the cause behind the witnessed behaviors in the population.

A newly mated queen ant establishes a nest in an unoccupied patch of suitable habitat. Assuming that no disasters strike the nes

Alika [10]

Answer:

Logistic

Explanation:

As the newly mated queen inhabit the new habitat, the population of the ants would increase slowly first followed by a rapid increase in the population size. Once the population size reaches the carrying capacity, it is leveled off.

Carrying capacity is the maximum number of the individuals of a population that can be supported indefinitely by a habitat. Once the population reaches the carrying capacity, one or other required resources become limited which in turn does not allow the exponential growth of the population.

This type of population growth wherein the exponential increase is followed by leveling out the population as the carrying capacity is reached, is called logistic population growth.
