Question

Imagine that you are managing a large wildlife preserve that was formerly a cattle ranch. You know from historical accounts that wild sheep used to live there, but they were hunted until the local population was exterminated. After doing some research to determine what might be an appropriate starting population, you introduce them. Food is abundant and they have no natural predators. You then spend several years graphing the number of individuals (on the vertical axis) against the number of generations (on the horizontal axis). By the 10th generation, the population begins to reach carrying capacity.
Requried:
What BEST defines this mathematical model used in population studies?

Answer 1

Being that they don’t have any natural predators by that 10th generation it should be back to normal capacity because of all the hunting. Sometimes humans do things out of convenience because they think that those animals are pests but,sheep aren’t predators and they are actually a very essential part of the animal kingdom in the farms and how they distribute food and kind of take care of each other, other animals and help farmers tremendously. and I mean they’re kind of amazing creatures and they provide a lot of resources for us that there’s it’s not necessary for us to hunt them. We won about 100 head of black Angus beef cattle and we only feed them organic however we won’t kill them unless maybe one has a bad leg or if there’s like an anomaly somewhere other than that he’s happy as most humane as possible and I appreciate your question and I hope it helped.
