Suppose a population of weevils that experiences logistic growth has an initial size of 1,563 and follows the standard equation for delayed density dependence with a 5-week delay and an intrinsic growth rate of 0.15 per week. If these conditions remain constant and the population is tracked for a long time, what type of population dynamics should it display? (Note: The cutoff r
value for dampened oscillations is 0.368, and the cutoff for a stable limit cycle is 1.57.)
