Question

In terms of population dynamics, what is "boom-and-bust"cycling?

• a situation inwhich the movement of limiting nutrients through an ecosystem ispulsatile rather than steady • a situation inwhich a population oscillates around the carrying capacity of itsenvironment • a situation inwhich a growing population overshoots the carrying capacity of itsenvironment and experiences a crash beforestabilizing
• a situation in which sex ratios in apopulation exhibit reciprocal oscillations • a situation in which the populations of apredator species and a prey species oscillate in unison • a situation inwhich the movement of limiting nutrients through an ecosystem ispulsatile rather than steady • a situation inwhich a population oscillates around the carrying capacity of itsenvironment • a situation inwhich a growing population overshoots the carrying capacity of itsenvironment and experiences a crash beforestabilizing
• a situation in which sex ratios in apopulation exhibit reciprocal oscillations • a situation in which the populations of apredator species and a prey species oscillate in unison

Explanation / Answer

B) a situationin which a population oscillates around the carrying capacity ofits environment C is similar but incorrect since thepopulation doesn't stabilize, it just oscillates
