The initial values for the fog beetle population are as follows:

Initial # of fog beetles (N0) = 2,000,

birth rate=.88 (b)

death rate=.05 (d)

What is the calculated population growth rate (r) for the beetles?

Growth Rate (r) = birth rate (b) - death rate (d)

.88

.05

.83

.94

    Answer: 0.83 (=0.88-0.05)

    Growth rate is the speed/rate at which the number of individuals within a population increases.

    As the current growth rate of the fog beetles is 83%, the population will increase with 1660 individuals per reproductive cycle (N=N0*r - -> N=2000*0,83 - -> N=1660).
