Suppose you attend a town meeting at which some experts tell the audience that they have performed a cost-benefit analysis of a proposed transit system that would probably reduce overall air pollution and fossil fuel consumption. The analysis, however, reveals that ticket prices will not cover the cost of operating the system when fuel, wages, and equipment are taken into account. As a biologist, you know that if ecosystem services had been included in the analysis, the experts might have arrived at a different answer. Why are ecosystem services rarely included in economic analyses?

 Following figure are shown figure of predator prey model 

Following some observation are given

A) The number of prey, N, increase at low predator densities, P, and decrease at high predator densities

B) Prey zero isoclines is depends on the ratio of the growth rate of prey to the capture efficiency of the predators

C) Number of predator needed for prey isoclines is depends on the ratio of the death rate of predators to the conversion efficiency of predators

D) Number of predator for prey isoclines depends on the ratio of the death rate of prey to the conversion efficiency of predators

Which of the above observation are true?

For two species A and B in competition, the carrying capacities, competition coefficients, per capita growth rate and population size are

KA = 1000           KB = 1200    α of B= 1     β of A= .5       rB= .5         r A= .3                

AN= 500                  BN= 200

According to the Lotka-Volterra model, what is growth rate of species A?
