Biology · Population Ecology
The growth curves for three independent populations (A, B, and C) follow the exponential model N(t) = N 0 e rt , where N(t) is the population at time t, N 0 is the initial population, and r is the per capita growth rate. If r A , r B , and r C are the intrinsic growth rates of populations A, B, and C respectively, and the curves show that population A grows fastest followed by B and then C, which of the following statements is true?
- 1r A > r B > r C✓
- 2r A = r B > r C
- 3r A > r B = r C
- 4r A = r B = r C
Correct answer
r A > r B > r C
