Logistic Growth This
model illustrates resource-limited population growth. Populations have
a per-capita growth rate and carrying capacity. Two populations
are compared on three graphs: N vs time, dN/dt vs N, and dN/Ndt vs N.
Individuals in the populations are viewed in windows, illustrating that,
even at carrying capacity, there are still births and deaths in the
population.

Population Estimation Knowing how many individuals are in a population can be critical. But how can you tell how many there are, when there are too many to count? This model simulates a pond of tadpoles. The population size can be estimated in three ways: direct sampling, sampling with removal, and mark/recapture. |
