Graphing Populations -
Rory was given data from an island where the deer population was growing fast. Managers thought that the deer population would grow to the point where there was not enough food, resulting in some deer starving to death. They decided to add 10 wolves to the island. The number of deer and wolves was tracked over several years. Rory was challenged with graphing both populations on the same graph. We then discussed if it was better to be eaten by a predator or starve to death. We also discussed how the managers altered the limiting factors for this population in the island ecosystem. We also predicted what will happen to the rest of the ecosystem in the future now that both the deer and wolves met their carrying capacity on the island.
