In 1992, William Rees developed a method of measuring environmental impact called “appropriated [this quantity]” or ecological footprint. (-5[1])The Levins model used to study patch dynamics represents this quantity as “one minus the extinction rate over the colonization rate.” (15[1])This quantity (-5[1])and an “unstable” threshold value denoted A appear as denominators in equations modelling the Allee (15[1])effect. (-5[2])A capital letter (15[1]-5[2])denoting this quantity (15[1])names a life history strategy (15[1])followed (15[1])by organisms (-5[2])that (15[1]-5[1])rear a (15[1])(*) small (10[1]-5[1])number (-5[3])of slow-maturing (10[1]-5[2])offspring (10[2])and live in crowded (10[1]-5[1])conditions. (10[2])During (-5[1])logistic growth, (10[1])a population (10[1])initially (10[1])grows rapidly and then stabilizes (10[2])as it approaches (10[1])this quantity (10[7])denoted (10[1])capital (10[2])K. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[2])name this maximum population (10[3])size (10[2])that an environment can support. (10[1])■END■ (10[6])
