Question

With regard to population growth rate, when responses are limiting the plot is logistic. Verhulst - Pearl Logistic growth is represented by the equation $\frac{d N}{d t} = r N (\frac{K - N}{K})$ what are
(a) r
(b) K

Open in App

Solution

(a) r is the Malthusian parameter which refers to the rate of maximum population growth.
(b) K is the carrying capacity of the population.
