Text: Population Growth and Competition with two species populations and single species population growth. 1. How big is the single-species population when it is growing as rapidly as it can? Explain why this is sensible. 2. Can one overshoot the carrying capacity? How is this sometimes or always catastrophic? 3. Do large or small competition coefficients mean a lot of resource overlap? 4. Do species in competition with others reach carrying capacity? Does this answer make sense?

Answer the following questions about logistic growth vs. exponential growth: (A) If a population of seabirds arrives at a newly formed volcanic island, would you expect the population to exhibit exponential growth or logistic growth? Why? (B) Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. They grow larger, copy their DNA, and then split in half. If a single colony of bacteria is placed on a petri dish with enough resources to support 1,000 bacterial colonies, then what would you expect the growth curve to look like over time?
