Often the Growth Cycle of One Population Has an Effect $\frac { d N } { d t }$

question 29

Multiple Choice

Often the growth cycle of one population has an effect on the cycle of another. As moose populations increase, for example, wolf populations also increase. Thus, if we are considering the logistic equation for the wolf population, $\frac { d N } { d t }$ = rN $\frac { ( K - N ) } { K }$ ,which of the factors accounts for the effect of the moose population?

• A) r
• B) N
• C) rN
• D) K
