Velocity If s(t) denotes the position of an object that moves along a straight line, then _s/_t, called the average velocity, is the average rate of change of s(t), and v(t) = ds/dt, called the (instantaneous) velocity, is the instantaneous rate of change of s(t).

Tilmans Resource Model In Subsection 4.1.2, we considered Tilmans resource model. Denote the biomass at time t by B(t), and assume that 1 B dB dt = f (R) m where R denotes the resource level, f (R) = 200 R 5 + R and m = 40. Use the graphical approach to find the value R at which 1 B dB dt = 0. Then compute R by solving 1 B dB dt = 0.

Exponential Growth Assume that N(t) denotes the size of a population at time t and that N(t) satisfies the differential equation dN dt = rN where r is a constant. (a) Find the per capita growth rate. (b) Assume that r < 0 and that N(0) = 20. Is the population size at time 1 greater than 20 or less than 20? Explain your answer.

Logistic Growth Assume that N(t) denotes the size of a population at time t and that N(t) satisfies the differential equation dN dt = 3N _ 1 N 20 _ Let f (N) = 3N(1 N 20 ) for N 0. Graph f (N) as a function of N and identify all equilibria (i.e., all points where dN dt = 0).

Island Model Assume that a species lives in a habitat that consists of many islands close to a mainland. The species occupies both the mainland and the islands, but, although it is present on the mainland at all times, it frequently goes extinct on the islands. Islands can be recolonized by migrants from the mainland. The following model keeps track of the fraction of islands occupied: Denote the fraction of islands occupied at time t by p(t). Assume that each island experiences a constant risk of extinction and that vacant islands (the fraction 1p) are colonized from the mainland at a constant rate. Then dp dt = c(1 p) ep where c and e are positive constants. (a) The gain from colonization is f (p) = c(1 p) and the loss from extinction is g(p) = ep. Graph f (p) and g(p) for 0 p 1 in the same coordinate system. Explain why the two graphs intersect whenever e and c are both positive. Compute the point of intersection and interpret its biological meaning. (b) The parameter c measures how quickly a vacant island becomes colonized from the mainland. The closer the islands, the larger is the value of c. Use your graph in (a) to explain what happens to the point of intersection of the two lines as c increases. Interpret your result in biological terms.

Chemical Reaction Consider the chemical reaction A + B AB If x(t) denotes the concentration of AB at time t, then dx dt = k(a x)(b x) where k is a positive constant and a and b denote the concentrations of A and B, respectively, at time 0.

Logistic Growth Suppose that the rate of change of the size of a population is given by dN dt = rN _ 1 N K _ where N = N(t) denotes the size of the population at time t and r and K are positive constants. Find the equilibrium size of the populationthat is, the size at which the rate of change is equal to 0. Use your answer to explain why K is called the carrying capacity.

Biotic Diversity (Adapted fromValentine, 1985.)Walker and Valentine (1984) suggested a model for species diversity which assumes that species extinction rates are independent of diversity but speciation rates are regulated by competition. Denoting the number of species at time t by N(t), the speciation rate by b, and the extinction rate by a, they used the model dN dt = N _ b _ 1 N K _ a _ where K denotes the number of niches, or potential places for species in the ecosystem. (a) Find possible equilibria under the condition a < b. (b) Use your result in (a) to explain the following statement by Valentine (1985): In this situation, ecosystems are never full, with all potential niches occupied by species so long as the extinction rate is above zero. (c) What happens when a b?
