Niche overlap indicates
1. active cooperation between two species.
2. two different parasites on the same host.

Exponential population growth is represented by
1. dt/dn=rN
2. dN/rN= dt

What type of human population is represented by the following age pyramid?

1. Expanding population
2. Vanishing population
3. Stable population
4. Declining population

The logistic population growth is expressed by the equation:
1. \(\dfrac{dN}{dt} = rn \left(\dfrac{N - K}{N}\right)\)
2. \(\dfrac{dt}{dN} = Nr \left(\dfrac{K - N}{K}\right)\)
3. \(\dfrac{dN}{dt} = rN \left(\dfrac{K - N}{K}\right)\)
4. \(\dfrac{dN}{dt} = rN\)

1. predation.
2. endoparasitism.
3. ectoparasitism.
4. brood parasitism.

A biologist studied the population of rats in a barn. He found that the average natality was 250, average mortality 240, immigration 20, and emigration 30. The net increase in population is:
