1) What is the difference in approach between the geometric growth equation and the exponential growth equation? (Ch. 12)
2) Why might a model that contains age structure better reflect the reality of population growth than a model that lacks age structure? (Ch. 12)
3) What is the difference between a stable population and a stable age distribution (Ch. 12)
4) What is the relationship between generation time and population growth? (Ch. 12)
5) What are the different causes of slow population growth at low population sizes versus high population sizes? (Ch. 12)
6) What evidence would you need to determine whether a population experiences negative density dependence or positive density dependence. (Ch. 12)
7) Explain why energy reserves can make a population experience delayed density dependence. (Ch. 13)
8) How does the age structure of a population inform us about population fluctuations over time? (Ch. 13)
9) Why does the probability of extinction due to stochastic processes decline as population size increases? Ch. 13)
10) Compare and contrast demographic stochasticity and environmental stochasticity? (Ch. 13)
11) Why is extinction less likely in models of stochastic extinction that include density dependence than in models that exclude density dependence? (Ch. 13)
12) If you were trying to save an endangered species that lived in a metapopulation, how might you try to increase the proportion of occupied sites? (Ch. 13)
