Let's talk about isle royale and the simulation that goes along with it.
00:06
So first off, we want to note that the isle royal simulation is about a moose population as well as a wolf population.
00:18
But our main focus is the moose.
00:21
Okay.
00:23
Originally, when you have this, the moose population on isle royal is not being hunted.
00:31
So we can consider it sort of top predator and it has free reign.
00:37
So initially, it could be at carrying capacity and the limiting factor here is food.
00:53
So the amount of food that's available will determine how big the population can get.
01:01
And so that's going to be where the carrying capacity is when there's no wolves present.
01:06
But then later, if you do add the wolves, we see that there's lots of changes in the moose population.
01:19
First off, we note that the moose population decrease, but the moose that are alive become healthier because they're not fighting so much for food...
