    I. The population of white-tailed deer in a forest was originally 600. Over the past 5 years, there were 300 births, 55 deer immigrated, and 800 deaths. As a result, the population change was a decrease of 445 deer, so the current population is 155 deer. II. For a population of 100,000 individuals, if there were 1000 births and 500 deaths in one year, the percentage of births was 1% and the percentage of deaths was 0.5%. Assuming immigration and emigration were equal, the net population growth was 0.5%. III. Population density calculations were performed for an Askal dog population between 1985 and 2005, with densities ranging from 1.2 to

    A. Compute for Population Change (60 pts)

    1. In a forest, the current population of white-tailed deer is 600. You want to


    know the change in population of the deer over the past five years.
    Wildlife biologists have kept track of the births, deaths, and so on for the
    last five years. That information looks like this:
    A. There were 300 new deer born.
    B. 55 deer moved in from another nearby forest.
    C. There were 800 deaths, both natural and from hunters or
    predators.
    D. No deer moved away from the herd.

    Number of births B = 300

    Number of immigrants I = 55

    Number of deaths D = 800

    Number of emigrants E=0

    Formula: N = (B + I) – (D + E)
    N = (300 + 55) – (800 + 0)
    = 355 - 800
    = -445

    600 - 445 = 155 is the change in population growth of white-tailed deer over the
    past 5 years.
    2. Suppose we had a population of 100,000 individuals. Suppose in one year
    there were 1000 births, and 500 deaths. Compute for:
    A. What percentage of the population were births?
    1000
    =0.01 x 100 %=1 %
    100,000

    B. What percentage of the population were deaths?


    500
    =0.005 x 100% = 0.5%
    100,000

    Assume immigration equals emigration (15=15). Compute for the population


    change and express as a percentage. Thus, conclude that:
    1000−500 500
    = =0.005 x 100% = 0.5% net growth
    100,000 100,000

    I. This population would be growing by 0.5% this first year.


    II. That means that after one year, there will be 500 more individuals
    than the previous year.
    III. So, after one year, the population would be 100,500 individuals.

    B. Compute for population density
