Population Growth Reference Document

To calculate population size, we multiply the rate of natural increase by the population size and add it to the population size: Nt+1 = rNt + Nt ( the "t" refers to time or generation) From the tribble example: N2 = r N1 + N1 = 10 x 11 + 11 = 110 + 11 = 121. This multiplying and adding process gets rather tedious. ................
