Albatross Egg Addition Experiment
Diomedea immutabilis
An extra chick added to eachof 18 nests a few days afterhatching. These nests with twochicks were compared to 18 othernatural “control” nests with onlyone chick. Three months later, only 5 of the 36 experimental chicks survived from the nests with 2 chicks, whereas 12 of the 18 chicks from single chick nests were still alive. Parents could not find food enough to feed two chicks and most starved to death.

Verhulst-Pearl Logistic Equation
dN/dt = rN – rN (N/K) = rN – {(rN2)/K}
dN/dt = rN {1– (N/K)} = rN [(K – N)/K]
dN/dt = 0 when [(K – N)/K] = 0
[(K – N)/K] = 0 when N = K
dN/dt = rN – (r/K)N2

At equilibrium, birth rate must equal death rate, bN = dN
bN = b0 – x N
dN = d0 + y N
b0 – x N = d0 + y N
Substituting K for N at equilibrium and r for b0 – d0
r = (x + y) K or K = r/(x +y)

Derivation of the Logistic Equation
Derivation of the Verhulst–Pearl logistic equation
is easy. Write an
equation for population growth using the actual
rate of increase rN
dN/dt = rN N =
(bN – dN) N
Substitute the equations for bN and dN into this
equation
dN/dt = [(b0 – xN)
– (d0 + yN)] N
Rearrange terms,
dN/dt = [(b0 – d0 ) –
(x + y)N)] N
Substituting r for (b – d) and, from above, r/K for
(x + y), multiplying
through by N, and rearranging terms,
dN/dt =
rN – (r/K)N2
