what are the two important assumptions of harvest models
|
1) harvested populations show density-dependent growth-- ex: removing a few indivs. will reduce the competition b/w those individuals and overtime they will grow back **so harvesting wont effect the animals pop. growth as long as i don't take too many away
(2) Harvest mortality is more "compensatory" than "additive" |
|
compensatory mortality:
|
removes prey that would otherwise die of other causes (e.g., starvation, disease)
|
|
additive mortality
|
removes prey in addition to those that would die of other causes **adding deaths to a population on top of natural death they would have die anyways
