suppose a colony of rabbits migrates to an ecosystem with a carrying capacity below the population of the colony. what is the shape of its population versus time graph?
The shape of the population versus time graph for the rabbits in this scenario would likely show rapid population growth initially as the rabbits reproduce and increase in number. However, as the population exceeds the carrying capacity of the ecosystem, competition for resources would increase, leading to a decrease in population growth rate and potential fluctuations in the population size as the rabbits struggle to survive in the limited environment. This would result in a more erratic and fluctuating population curve, rather than a stable growth pattern seen in a population with a carrying capacity that can support their numbers.
