A sailing ship stopped at several islands, releasing one mating pair of goats onto each one. On the large island, the goats' growth rate was approximately exponential for a long time.

This interactive assumes one index patient (patient zero). However, a real outbreak is often not recognized until there are multiple patients. The vaccine used in recent Ebola outbreak is not yet licensed, but there is increasing evidence of its efficacy. For that reason, experts are recommending "compassionate use", in which those at the greatest risk are offered the vaccine even though it is unlicensed. Select the Ring Vaccination option for Ebola and examine the structure of a ring vaccination. What parameters would you use to set up a vaccination protocol for an Ebola outbreak? Assume that individuals will only be immunized after giving informed consent. Select all that apply.

1. Locate any infected person and vaccinate their family members. 2. Vaccinate all healthcare workers because they could be treating infected people. 3. Vaccinate people who could come in contact with an infected people. 4. Vaccinate secondary contacts- the people who would come into contact with people who would be in contact with an infected person.

Assuming the medium fertility variant, which group of countries will have a decrease in population by 2100, compared to 2015 levels? Choose all that apply.

1. Low-income countries 2. Lower-middle-income countries 3. Upper-middle-income countries 4. None of the groups of countries will decrease.

Consider the projections for low-income countries' populations into the 21st century (in assessment mode). Which of the following fertility scenarios will result in a decrease in their collection population? Choose all that apply.

1. No fertility scenario will result in a decrease in population.

The location of dots in the Dot Panel represents the general proximity between people. This is a screenshot of a dot panel where 80% of the population was vaccinated for measles. How would the spread of the disease be different if patient zero was in the starred location within the population? Select all that apply.

1. The initial infections would be higher because there are more unvaccinated individuals near patient zero. 2. Patient zero would spread measles to individuals nearby who could then spread measles to more unvaccinated individuals.

Start by selecting measles at 0% vaccination from the Settings panel. Run the stimulation several times. Then click on the Compare tab and select another disease along with the measles both at 0% vaccination and run the simulation several times. What do you observe? Select all that apply.

1. The number of infected people varies with the disease and with the disease and with the specific run of the simulation. 2. The measles appears to be a more contagious disease.

Which of the following factors threaten biodivirsity? Select all that apply.

1. habitat loss 2. climate change 3. human population increase

Look at the dataset for the world population in assessment mode. If fertility is low, population is predicted to be about ___ billion people by the year 2100, but if fertility is high, the population could reach ___ billion people. A medium level of fertility would result in a population of about ___ billion people by 2100.

7, 16, 11

What would you conclude after comparing the survivorship of the ground squirrel and the finch?

Both suffer high predation throughout the lifespan.

True or False: With low fertility, projected population size always decreases.

False

Looking at historical populations, if the model was used to predict the populations in the year 2000 based on growth rates from 1950-1955, it overestimated the population size of ___ countries, underestimated the population size of ___ countries, and was most accurate for ___ countries.

High-income, Low-income, Middle-income

Two populations of deer live in similar tracts of land. In tract A, the deer are left to forage on their own, in tract B, the villiage start providing supplemental food in the winter. What would you predict about the two populations after a few years?

If the villagers continue providing food, the deer in tract B will reach a higher steady state population, due to an increased carrying capacity.

In this graph, what does fertility represent?

The average number of children a woman has in her lifetime.

Niger has one of the highest fertility rates in the world. If fertility rates were to drop significantly to the Low Fertility population projection, would its population begin to decrease before 2100?

No, it may level off near 2100, but will continue to increase throughout the century.

Compare South Africa and Nigeria. Both are countries in a region commonly referred to as Sub-Saharan Africa. How do the population projections for each country relate given the medium fertility projection?

South Africa's population does not increase much, while Nigeria's population increases considerably more.
