A) \[\frac{dN}{dt}=rN\left( \frac{K-N}{K} \right)\]
B) \[\frac{dN}{dt}=tN\left( \frac{K-N}{K} \right)\]
C) \[\frac{dN}{dt}=rN\left( \frac{K-N}{N} \right)\]
D) \[\frac{dN}{dt}=tN\left( \frac{K-N}{N} \right)\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Population growth under the Verhulst-Pearl logistic equation is sigmoidal (S-shaped), reaching an upper limit termed the carrying capacity, K. Population initiated at densities above K decline exponentially untill they reach K, which represents the only stable equilibrium.You need to login to perform this action.
