If N is the population size, r is the intrinsic growth rate, K is the carrying capacity of the local environment, and dN/dt is the rate of change in population with time, then the Verhulst-Pearl Logistic growth equation is correctly written as:
| 1. | dN/dt = rN[1- N/K] | 2. | dN/dt = rN[1- K/N] |
| 3. | dN/dt = rN + [1- N/K] | 4. | dN/dt = rN + [1- K/N] |

In ‘competitive release’:
| 1. | differences among similar species whose distributions overlap geographically are accentuated in regions where the species co-occur, but are minimized or lost where the species' distributions do not overlap. |
| 2. | two species which compete for the same limited resource cannot coexist at constant population values. |
| 3. | there is an expansion of the range of a species when a competitor for its niche is removed. |
| 4. | there is a division of limited resources by species to help avoid competition in an ecological niche. |
