alleryUnder logistic growth with constant positive r and K, at which population size is the total growth rate greatest?
AN = K
BN = K/2
CN = 0
DN = K/4
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. N = K/2
The total rate is rN(1 - N/K), a downward-opening quadratic in N. Its maximum occurs at N = K/2, where the rate is rK/4.
