The population density of a particular insect species was determined to be 15,000 adults per hectare in the summer of 1996, 21,000 adults per hectare in the summer of 1997, and 29,400 adults per hectare in the summer of 1998.

What would you expect the insect population to be in the summer of 2000, assuming no change in λ?

#Section 2: Evolution

Consider an autosomal locus with two alleles A1 and A2 at frequencies of 0.6 and 0.4 respectively. Each generation, A1 mutates to A2 at a rate of μ = 1 x 10-2 while A2 mutates to A1 at a rate of υ = 1 x 10-1) Assume that the population is infinitely large and no other evolutionary force is acting. The overall change in allelic frequency will be
