3. Two conditions that might lead to exponential population growth are: 1. When populations are introduced or reintroduced into a new environment 2. When population numbers have been drastically reduced by a catastrophic event and are rebounding. Give 2 examples of organisms that fit these conditions; 2 examples for condition 1 and 2 examples for condition 2:
