Describe three additional biotic and abiotic factors not modeled in the simulation that could affect the population dynamic of the whales and seals.
Explain why some limiting factors may lead to drastic changes in whale and seal populations, while others may only cause minimal changes.
In this lesson, you learned about two patterns of population growth and decline, the sigmoid and peak phenomena. Does the seal and killer whale relationship represent a sigmoid or peak phenomenon? Please provide supporting details.
A microbe from an ecosystem that exists in the same arctic region has infected the whale population. The graph below shows the new carrying capacity for the whale population
